John10:5

Verſe 5. A stranger will they not follow] For they have ſenſes exerciſed to diſcern good and evil; Heb. 5 14. yea they have a ſpirit of diſcerning, 1 Cor. 12.10. the minde of Chriſt, 1 Cor. 2.16. and though ſimple to evil, yet are wiſe in that which is good. They are ſheep, but rationall: their ſervice, a reaſonable ſervice, Rom. 12.1. their obedience the obedience of faith, Rom. 16.26. they try before they truſt, they look before they leap, and ſo grow to ſuch a certainty in that truth they hold, ſuch a plerophory of knowledge, Coloſſ. 2.3. that it is impoſſible for them to be fully or finally deceived, Mat. 24.24. Falſe and heterodox doctrines they hate, Pſal. 119 104, and all ſuch impoſtours as ſeek to buzze doubts into their heads, Rom. 16.17.
