4. THESIS.

A toleration and sufferance but of any one or two false ways and worships fights directly against these and many such like places of Scripture, For we can do nothing against the truth but for the truth (2 Corinthians 13:8). Buy the truth and sell it not (Proverbs 23:23). Be valiant for the truth, strive for the faith of the Gospel, be zealous, beware of false Prophets, beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the Concision, a man that is a Heretic after the first and second admonition reject. They that keep the Law contend with the wicked, Paul's not giving place to false brethren, no not for an hour that the truth of the Gospel might continue. Paul and Barnabas having no small dissention and disputation with those who taught Circumcision, if there come any to you and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed, the Angel of Ephesus his commendation for that he could not bear them which are evil, and which say they are Apostles, and are not, and for hating the deeds of the Nicolaitans, the Angels of the Churches of Pergamus and Thyatira being threatened by Christ for suffering them that held the doctrine of Balaam, the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, and that woman Jezebel which called herself a Prophetess, to teach and to seduce his servants.
