For, from these direc-tions, the Jews were commanded these things#.

1.

That the Prophet who presumes to speak a word, as from God, which God hath not commanded him to speak, must be put to death.2.That the test, or criterion by which they are to discern a false prophet from a true one, is this: not his miracles, but the fulfillment of his words.

If what he says comes to pass, he is a true prophet; if the event foretold does not take place, he has spoken presump-tuously, and must die the death.3.

"If any man arise in Israel," and advise, or teach them to worship any other besides the Eternal; and in proof of the divinity of his mission promise a sign, or a wonder, and in fact does bring to pass the sign or wonder promised, he is nevertheless, not to be hearkened to; but to be put to death.
