But while they are obstinate, and pertinacious, in maintaining Lies, and Untruths, they ought to be confuted, as the man was, that denyed Snow to be white. For it is not so much a blindness of mind, or a weakness of judgement, as many well meaning people are misled by, as a wilful, obstinate resisting of the Truth, as the perverse Jews did, or as, Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses. They that are against commanded Gospel Ordinances, and the Ministers of Christ, whom they look upon as the Priests of Baal, would (if they durst) shake off the very Scripture, and Word of GOD. And it is more than probable, that if they could shun the odium of open Blasphemy, and the hazard of standing Laws against blasphemers, the most part of them would disown the Scriptures, as many of them have done. For what kindness or respect can they have for the Scriptures, but such as men carry to Topicks or common places, whence they draw Arguments to impugne others, or defend themselves with. For they do not look upon the Word as their Rule, seing (as they dream) they have a Light within them, beyond that more sure Word of Prophesie, which the Aopstle Peter prefers to a voice from Heaven. Nay, they have so little veneration for the Scriptures, that they will not suffer them to be called the Word of GOD, contrary to many express places of the Scripture; as","proofs":["2 Kings 23:16"]}]},{"document":"dickson1684","id":"31","url":"/api/v1/documents/dickson1684/entries/31","segments":[{"text":"(1) Because, under the Old Testament, Councils, and Synods were appointed and called by godly Kings;","proofs":["2 Kings 23:1"]},{"text":"(2) Because, it is the duty of the civil Magistrate being born within the church, to take care that Peace and Unity be preserved and keeped in the Church: that the Truth and Word of GOD, be intirely, and soundly Preached and obeyed: that blasphemies and heresies be kept under and supprest; that all corruptions in Worship and Discipline be reformed: that all GODS Ordinances be lawfully established, administred, and preserved.
