entered into the mind of god and proclaimed his word to the people then they should have turned them from their evil way instead of which they confirmed them in their sin and rebellion this is ever the result of false teaching is not to deny that god may speak through dreams if it be his will but it is not his usual way where we have the written word dreams are needless and may be positively
