IErem. 10.8. But they are altogether brutish and foolish: be stocke is a doctrine of vanitie.
Verse 15. They are vanitie, & •…•…he worke of errours: in the tyme •…•…f their visitatiō, they shal perish.
Note then, That that which is the •…•…orke of errour, cannot bee the teacher •…•…f trueth.
Zech. 10.2. For the Idoles haue spoken vanitie, and the di∣viners haue seene a lie, &c.
Habak. 2.18. What profi∣teth the graven Image, that the maker hath graven it, the molten Image, and a teacher of lies? &c.
The Papist would say, that it profi∣teth to bee a booke to the Laicks, but Gods Mouth sayeth, that it is a teacher of lies, a doctrine of vanitie, and a worke of errours. Now lies, and vanitie, and errour, is no good instruction.
g O foolish Gala∣tians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the trueth, before whose eyes Iesus Christ hath beene evidentlie set foorth, crucified amongst you?
Note then, That the preaching of Christs trueth, and the knowledge there∣of in the word, is recommended as the vivest picture of Christ, and the most precious and hallowed crucifixe that we can set before our eyes daylie, or lay vp in our breast.
