Truly Sir, when God shall make you a New Creature, you will be glad of New light; for be∣hold (saith God) I make all things New, even the light as well as the creature: the Old light will serve the Old man wel enough.

And for the Spirits reproving the Angel of the Church, for suffering false and erroneous Teach∣ers; doth this prove as you undertake that the An∣gel of the Church had or exercised, civil and secular power in the Church of Christ? You erre not understanding the Scriptures; for then any thing is suffered in the Church, when it is not reproved and condemned by the Word; the Word of truth, taught and published in the Church, will suffer no errour there; but you un∣derstand this suffering, of outward and violent power. Do you not remember, that I said at the beginning, that the carnal Church understands the whole Scriptures carnally?
