Sect. 27. E. B. p. 8. But 1. May not a
good man, yea, a true Prophet, be sometime mi∣staken?
Was not Samuel so, when he took
Eliab to be the Lords anointed? Was not Na∣than
deceived, when he encouraged David to
build the Temple?—
R. B. 1. Yes, they may be deceived when
they speak in their own names, and judge
by their own Spirit or reason: But do you
think they may be deceived when they pro∣phesie
as from God. If so, then what cer∣tainty
can we have of the truth of any of
their Prophecies, if they may speak falsly
to us in the name of God? 2. Will not
your followers think you yet see your parti∣ality,
who in one Page reproach others as
denying Scripture to be a perfect Rule, and
in another can thus seek to parallel Gods
Prophets, with one that rashly in the Pulpit
prophesieth three falshoods together in the
name of God? Is it not Gods direction to

come to pass is not a true Prophet, Deut.
13. 23. But every one that absolutely pro∣phesieth
that which doth not come to pass,
is a false Prophet, Deut. 18. 20, 21, 22.
But the Prophet which shall presume to speak a
word in my name, which I have not command∣ed
him to speak—even that Prophet shall
dye. (Mark whether God do judge as you
do.) And if thou say in thy heart, how shall
we know the word which the Lord hath spoken,
when a Prophet speaketh in the name of the
Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to
pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath
not spoken, but the Prophet hath spoken it pre∣sumptuously:
thou shalt not be afraid of
him.
