and so much you disesteem his exemplary godliness; Blemish his good name, and ye blast his holy profession.

By the ashes of his Isaac his late Devotions will seeme palefaced, they will appeare like so much singularitie, humour, or affectation. Yea the puritie of that true Religion which He countenanceth, will now be censured a worship of his own invention! Alas, that every altar by Him erected in a thankful remembrance of that God whom He serveth, should henceforward be looked upon, not as the perpetual monuments of the onely true God, but as certain arguments of this Patriarch his ostentation and madnesse. Woe will it be with the Hous-hold of faith, when the life of this parent and the Death of this Child, shall be taken up for a scoffe, a taunt, for a reproach, and by-word, |
