Observation X.

That it is usual with evil Men, to draw false Conclusions from true Premises. What was the ground Korah went upon: That all the Lord's People were Holy, every one of them. This is true according to Scripture, in a Sense, externally holy, as a people pro∣fessing the Lord to be their God. But what was the Conclusion they drew from hence, it was, that therefore Moses and Aaron took too much upon them, and that there was no need of Magistracy or Ministry. Take heed of sudden Entertaining any New Doctrine though it seem to be countenanced by some Scripture misapplyed.
