Christian Reader, if (as sometimes through grace it was with Augustine concerning the Heresy of Pelagius) by occasion of this Dialogue and other perilous Treatises, with which this hour of temptation abounds, threatening (it it were possible) to deceive the very elect; thou hast been stirred up more to search into, and hate the unsound tenets contained therein, and more to search into and love, the sound doctrines contrary thereunto; Remember to glorify that God which brings Light out of Darkness by his good Spirit, leading all those whose Names are written in the Book of Life of the Lamb, into all truth, teaching them to abhor the wine of deadly errors, notwithstanding they are presented in a golden cup; and to discern Satan though transformed into an Angel of Light;
