CHAP. 2. Of the Signal Nature of the Quakers, and other false Teachers, arising, and prevailing among the people of God.
AS the Sovereign Lord, and only wise God, is both the disposer and interpreter: So hath he given unto his servants, to be discerners of the times. The Scriptures held forth many occurrents of providence Significative of the state of religion, & of the respective condition of the profession thereof: as also of Gods more remarkable administration unto his people, whether with relation unto his Predictions, permissive, or comminatory or both, Hence we read of signs of the times. Mat: 16.3. Of good times in the place cited. Of evil times, Mat: 24.33. This trueth, the Psalmist mentions, as of acknowledged & notable moment in Israel. Psal. 74.9. We see not our signs.
