Dr. Till. ibid. p. 87.

And what if some out of pre∣judice do mistake, or out of per∣verseness do wrest the plainest Texts of Scripture, &c. Is this any argument that those Texts are not sufficiently plain? Can any thing be spo∣ken or written in words so clear, which a perverse or pre∣judiced mind shall not be able to vex and force to another meaning? God did not write the Scriptures for the fro∣ward and the captious, but for those who will read them with a free and unprejudiced mind, and are willing to come to the knowledge of the truth.
