Admonition.
'TIS a serious thing to change your Religion. Eternity depends upon it. And therefore 'tis an unpardonable Error, to be guilty of rashness in so weighty a concern.
Be not perswaded out of your Senses with confidence and noise. Nor do you presently conclude, that some men are in the Right; because they say it is impossible they should be in the Wrong.
If they think to frighten you into their way by telling you; that you are other-wise Damned: Regard such threatnings no more then you would the Ravings of a Quaker. For not he that com∣mendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord Commendeth. 2 Cor. 10. 18.
descriptionPage 22
Be not discouraged; nor sus∣pect the truth of your Faith, be∣cause at first hearing you cannot Answer a Sophistical Objection. Thinking men, who expect so∣lid Arguments, may possibly be surpriz'd, on the suddain, with such slender Stuff. For even a Child may puzzle a States-man, at Riddle my Riddle.
But these kind of Tricks, when a little examined, how trifling do they appear? and sig∣nify nothing but the Confidence of those who urge them.
Remember this, and shew your selves men.
FINIS.
