A66550	Wilson, John, 1588-1667.	A seasonable vvatch-vvord unto Christians against the dreams & dreamers of this generation delivered in a sermon November 16th. 1665 / and being the last lecture, which was preached by that reverend, faithful and eminent man of God Mr. John Wilson ...	1677		.xml	application/xml	6229	97	40	●s I remember there were those that came to Aaron , and would have a Calf m●de , &c. and ▪ I remember there was one that came to the Prophet M●caia● , and told him of these and those Prophets that did declare good to the King with one mouth : and let thy word be like the word of one , of them , and s●●●k that which is good : but they were a company of Dreame●● and Ahab doth not love M●●●●b : and he doth never speak a good word to me , wherefore I hate him : and the messenger that goes to him tells him that there were so many hundreds of them that do speak pleasing things to the King , and I pray thee do thou speak such like things to him , that may be matter of contentment to him ; but that Prophet of the Lord would not turn to the right hand , or to the left , for the King , or for any other ; but what God did put into his mouth , that he would speak : and so it is generally , that when the false Prophet doth arise among the People of God , it is because of Gods people that are the cause of it : and it is they that do set them up , and maintain them , and would have pillows laid under their elbows : and why is it so ? why ( my Brethren ) even since it was that Eve did hearken to the voice of the Serpent : And also the children of God are much given to novelties ; these are things that they never heard of before : and if they may have these and those things spoken which they never heard of before , this is all many care for , though they are such things as came not cut of the mouth of God : yet because they are new things , and that please their ●u●ors , therefore they affect them : thus the Apostle Paul , one would think an Apostle good enough ; yet there were many that were unsatisfied with him , as in the Epistle to the Galatians we read , & bewitched with the false Teachers ; these give us ( say they ) the Gospel in this and that way ▪ &c. however they did once look at the Apostle Paul as an Angel of God , even as Christ Iesus : but now the case was altered : and now Paul was no body : and come of him what would , he might st●rve for all them : they were carried away after those that ven●●d their new things . The Devil himself of Hell cannot propos● to them 〈◊〉 lye more abominable then other , but th●● will receive th●●am● , and God is just in this Judgement upon them for d●llying with his truth : and for their not receiving of it ; Satan is an enemy to God , and an enemy to the truth : and when the Co●● 〈◊〉 sow● in the field , then that enemy comes , and ●e sow● his ●ar●s : he hath a great hand in stirring up such men as these , and 〈◊〉 these Dreams into their heads , and he will set up his Kingdome to pull down the blessed Kingdome of the Lord Jesus Christ thereby : and he will have his Ministers , and he will have deceiver● ( transforming himself into an Angel of light ) and he will come in the Name of God , and in the name of Christ also ▪ even 〈◊〉 the ●agabond Jews Act. 19. and the sons of St●●a are said to do so .	cache/A66550.xml	txt/A66550.txt
