1. God doth not graciously move the hearts of any to irregular and unlawful Actions; and though men are very prone to entitle Him to it, yet He utterly disclaims it, Jam. 1. 13, 14.
2. And it is certain that when men grow wanton, and despise the Ordinances; God (many times) judicially gives them strong delusion to believe a lye, 2 Thess. 2. 10, 11. and that is none of the least, to misjudge a seducing spirit to be the spirit of God.
3. To follow an erring Conscience, which verily believes his error to be the truth, is not to follow the direction of the Spirit of God. If what God forbids, Conscience persuades, this is not of Gods approbation for so He should be against himself. It is a snare and a judgement to be under such a Conscience; so that they must pardon us if we suspect the moving cause.
