Objections against the way
But as plainly as God has pointed out the way in which he will be inquired after, innumerable are the objections which men, wise in their own eyes, have from time to time raised against it. It may be needful to consider a few of these, not because they are of weight in themselves, but because they have so often been used, especially of late years, to turn the lame out of the way. Yes, to trouble and subvert those who did run well, while Satan appeared as an angel of light.

IV. 1. But as plainly as God hath pointed out the way, wherein he will be inquired after, innumerable are the objections which men, wise in their own eyes, have from time to time raised against it. It may be needful to consider a few of these; not because they are of weight in themselves, but because they have so often been used, especially of late years, to turn the lame out of the way; yea, to trouble and subvert those who did run well, while Satan appeared as an angel of light.
