The Lord Jesus Christ had three offices. They are Prophet, Priest and King. In what aspects was Jesus Christ a Prophet?
A Well is a fit receptacle for Water, and it is expected Water should be therein; but if it be empty, it greatly deceives and disappoints them that come to draw Water out of it: so ministers should be stored with much grace and heavenly doctrine. But those who come to a False-Teacher, to receive instruction and comfort for their souls, are grievously deceived.
The Fox is not only crafty, but cruel to harmless creatures; so are False-Teachers to the souls of men.
As False-Teachers are compared to “Wells without Water,” so likewise they are to “Clouds without Rain, carried with a tempest.”
There is no higher name or title to set forth dignity amongst men, than kings or mighty potentates.
