3. Whereas, from Abrahams self denials, I pressed a self-denial upon all such masters, parents, concerned officers, and Magistrates as may, and should befriend Souls under their tuition; (Old things are passed away: ) I now urge the example, not of Abraham representing, but of the true father of many nations by Abraham represented: The father of all men, when there was no Arm to help, spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all! And shall worldly favour, or neighbourly kindness prevent you from imitating the merciful example, of a compassionate God? If the Love of God, if the example of God, findeth faith in your hearts, O ye Rulers, neither let Souls stupidly ignorant escape untaught and unchatechised; neither tollerate ye those unlawful meetings which wrest Holy Scriptures to the hazard of themselves, and of this Kingdom. 1. (Witness our late civil Warrs, ) As evil words corrupt good manners, so a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump: A cancer in the mouth is a pernicious disease: even so much that Christ hateth that we should suffer among us the doctrine either of the Pharises, or of the Nicolitans. 2. When the Son of man took a farr journey, he gave authoritie to his Servants: |
