Mr  S.  SIMPSON'S  ERRORS.         517

underftanding,  but  according  to  the  teaching  and  mind  of
the  Spirit.  "  And  God,  by  all  his  true  fervants,  (hall
<c  deflroy  the  fl/.dies  of  carnal  doctors,  and  mafters  in  di-
€C  vinity,  and  lhall  diflipate  all  fecular  and  philofophical
c<  learning,  by  the  word  of  truth  in  their  mouths."  And
fo  fhall  the  church  be  reformed  aright,  when  the  doftrine
of  Chrift  only  fhall  be  received  and  eflecmed  of,  and  fhall
live  and  flourilh  among  chriflians.
And  thus  antichrifl  hath  laid  afide  the  fcriptures,  and
all  true  fpiritual  and  divine  learning  out  of  his  fchools  and
univerfities,  and  hath  brought  into  them,  inftead  thereof,
philofophy  and  human  learning;  and  fo  thefe  fchools  are
moft  unlike  to  the  fchools  of  the  prophets :  fo  in  due  time,
when  God  lhall  undertake  to  reform  his  church,  all  this
fort  of  learning  lhall  be  caft  out  again,  as  dirt  and  dung,
and  the  plain  word  of  the  gofpel  only  lhall  prevail  and
flourilh  among  the  chriflian  people :  Which  time  the  Lord
Jiaften  for  his  ele&s  fake.
