2 Timothy3:9
9 But they shall proceed no further , for their folly shall be made manifest all men , as theirs also was .
God will preserve those in his Church that are sincere; though they may captivate a few, poor, ignorant, women, they shall have no great success.
For God will in his providence so order it, that their folly or madness shall appear to all, and their party shall decline. The Divine Providence that governs all things by the invincible light of truth discovers and confounds the most specious and subtle seducers in his own time. And this prediction of the Apostle was exactly fulfill'd with respect to those primitive seducers.
As God by his Providence laid open Iannes and Iambres.
