DEFINITION Of a Fictitious Calvinist,
Commonly called “An Antinomian.”
He is one that maintains an Election of Grace,And as fondly conceits himself one of the race,
Talks loudly of Faith, but accounteth all Works
As the chains of the law, and the creed of the Turks;
Thinks that none can be sav'd who do not believe this,
Nor be damn'd if they do, tho' they practise amiss,
Can prate of experience that's none of his own,
And picks up his phrases, as you would a stone;
125
Should talk, tho' elect, of being lost after all!
There then is one more in a different way,
Both wide of the mark, and of course gone astray:
Took we then for a third that shall honour the text;
And if there's a fourth, they are found in the next.
