A76988	The arraignment of errour: or, A discourse serving as a curb to restrain the wantonnesse of mens spirits in the entertainment of opinions; and as a compasse, whereby we may sail in the search and finding of truth; distributed into six main questions. Quest. 1. How it may stand with Gods, with Satans, with a mans own ends, that there should be erroneous opinions? Quest. 2. What are the grounds of abounding errours? Quest. 3. Why so many are carried away with errour? Quest. 4. Who those are that are in danger? Quest. 5. What are the examens, or the trials of opinions, and characters of truth? Quest. 6. What waies God hath left in his Word for the suppressing of errour, and reducing of erroneous persons? Under which generall questions, many other necessary and profitable queries are comprized, discussed, and resolved. And in conclusion of all; some motives, and means, conducing to an happy accommodation of our present differences, are subjoyned. / By Samuel Bolton minister of the Word of God at Saviours-Southwark.

to_o arius_n as_o they_o write_v on_o he_o who_o yet_o hold_v that_o damnable_a opinion_n against_o the_o deity_n of_o christ_n that_o christ_n be_v not_o god_n he_o be_v a_o man_n in_o all_o

arminius_n of_o late_a who_o in_o his_o time_n discover_v much_o appear_a holiness_n and_o humility_n yet_o hold_v dangerous_a error_n it_o be_v the_o subtlety_n of_o satan_n and_o the_o policy_n of_o the_o first_o promoter_n of_o opinion_n to_o difference_n themselves_o as_o much_o from_o other_o in_o life_n and_o conversation_n as_o they_o do_v in_o judgement_n and_o opinion_n that_o so_o their_o error_n may_v get_v more_o ground_n and_o find_v better_a entertainment_n with_o other_o as_o the_o pharisee_n make_v long_a prayer_n but_o it_o be_v to_o prey_v upon_o and_o devour_v widow_n house_n they_o make_v the_o practice_n of_o holiness_n but_o the_o cloak_n of_o their_o hypocrisy_n and_o the_o stalk_a horse_n to_o compass_v their_o own_o end_n so_o many_o do_v walk_v in_o the_o way_n of_o strictness_n but_o to_o set_v off_o their_o own_o wicked_a error_n and_o advantage_v their_o opinion_n they_o know_v that_o a_o ill_a life_n will_v be_v disadvantageous_a to_o the_o receive_n of_o their_o opinion_n and_o therefore_o put_v on_o a_o form_n of_o godliness_n but_o deny_v the_o power_n of_o it_o that_o they_o may_v the_o better_a advantage_n the_o reception_n of_o their_o error_n

make_v their_o doctrine_n more_o receptible_a in_o the_o heart_n of_o other_o so_o that_o i_o say_v first_o the_o appear_a holiness_n and_o strictness_n of_o the_o maintainer_n and_o entertainer_n of_o a_o opinion_n be_v not_o enough_o to_o discover_v it_o a_o truth_n it_o be_v certain_a a_o man_n may_v be_v strict_a in_o a_o error_n and_o yet_o a_o libertine_n in_o a_o truth_n though_o no_o truth_n do_v make_v man_n libertine_n or_o countenance_v they_o in_o it_o yet_o some_o error_n may_v make_v man_n strict_a strict_a i_o say_v not_o a_o religious_a strictness_n but_o a_o
