Jeremiah23:17
Ver. 17. They ſay ſtill to them that deſpiſe me] They promiſe ſecurity to the impenitent: and flatter people in their ſinful and ſenſual practices. Socinians ſet up mans reaſon: Arminians his free-will: Libertines his unruly luſts: and Papiſts gratifie his ſenſes with their forms and pomp. In their humble ſupplication to King James for a toleration, they pleaded for their religion, as that which was moſt agreeable to mans nature. Sr. Walther Rawleigh knew what he ſaid, that were he to chuſe a religion for ſenſual delights and licentious liberty, he would be a Papiſt: No ſin paſt, but the Pope can pardon it: none to come, but he could diſpenſe with it. No matter how long they have lived in any ſin (thought the ſin againſt the Holy Ghoſt) yet Extreme Ʋnction at laſt will ſalve all.
