Pr. He saith, there is an infallible judgment, which may be made from the Scriptures without the spirit, page 9.
Answ. Who can judge infallibly without the spirit? Christ told the Pharisees (who had the Scriptures) They were of the devill, and judgment they had neglected, and he did not own their judgment to be infallible. And the Apostle saith, what they knew who were separate from the spirit, they knew naturally as brute beasts, Jude 10 and 19. though they spoke high words in hypocrisie. And there art thou with thy infallible judgment. as thou said, without the spirit, (which is proved fallible) and there is no infallible judgment to be given that stands without the spirit; they that judge without the spirit, will judge amisse, and not infallibly, as the Jewes did of Christ, and as the natural brute beasts did which Jude speaks of; there art thou.
