DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thomas Brooks emphasizes the danger of hidden enemies, particularly
those who disguise themselves as agents of light while actually serving
the devil. He warns that many individuals, appearing righteous, are in
fact leading souls away from salvation and towards destruction. Brooks
calls for vigilance against these deceptive influences that can lead to
spiritual ruin, urging believers to seek God's grace to protect them
from such dangers.

A hidden enemy is far worse than an open enemy.

The devil has put his angelic robes upon many

of his chief agents, that they may the more easily

and the more effectually deceive and delude the

souls of men.

Ah! what multitudes are there, that to some bleary

eyes appear as angels of light, and yet in their

principles and practices are but servants to the

prince of darkness, laboring with all their might to

make proselytes for hell, Matt. 23:15, and to draw

men to those wild notions, opinions, and conceits

which will leave them short of heaven, yes, bring

them down to the hottest, darkest, and lowest

place in hell, if God does not prevent it by a

miracle of grace.
