The saints guide, in three treatises

Use. First of Instruction to take heed of taking up of Arms against the Spirit of God, we see the heinous sin of them that despise the Ministry of the Gospel, men may think it nothing; but alas, you know not what it is: for the word of God, and the Spirit of God go together, as the blessed Martyr Steven said to the Jews, Act. 7.51.
