In-Text |
One part of their Duty was taken, and another left; one regarded, and another rejected, according as it was in vogue, or suited with their inclinations. Instead of an universal, they yielded unto God a partial Obedience; flattering themselves that their extraordinary niceness about some particular Precepts, should excuse their neglect, and make amends for their violation of others. They presumed that their Devotion should commute for their Injustice, and that because they were temperate in eating and drinking, they should not be condemned for being covetous or malicious. Being truly zealous against Idolatry, they were not concerned for their Lying, Pride, or Envy; and as long as they kept themselves free from gross carnal sins, there was no convincing them but that they were the Children of God, though they abounded in all sorts of Spiritual. |
