Satan, who is a wonderful contriver of delusions, is constantly laying snares to entrap ignorant and heedless people.

Whensoever God's truth is defaced or when any man turns away from the pure simplicity of the Gospel, we must not in any wise spare him, but although the whole world should set itself against us, yet must we maintain the case with invincible constancy, without bending for any creature.

Wherever we see the Word of God purely preached and heard, there a church of God exists, even if it swarms with many faults.
