Pass we now (if ye please) out of the Vineyard, into the Fold; from the People under the Law, to Us who live under the Gospel; whom though our Lord (out of goodness) was pleas'd to call his Flock of Sheep, he might have stil'd (out of Iustice) his Herd of Swine. For if He, the great Shepherd, withhold his Crook, Lord how quickly we go astray! And for here and there one who will be led into the Fold, how many are there that must be driven? like the Prodigal in the Gospel, (who would not return unto his Father until he was brought to feed on Husks,) we seldom care for our Physician, until the time that we are sick; and then as soon as recover'd, are very glad, rather than thankful. And this may point us out a Reason, why for so many years together, (before this last,) our Heavenly Father made use of his sharpest Methods for our amendment; even placing us as Israelites amongst Egyptians, like so many flowers amongst thorns; of which the principal design, was not to torture, but to defend us. |
