but to be orthodox Professors, embracing the NONLATINALPHABET (as the Heathen call'd it,) that is, the Doctrin, or Tenet, or Faith of Christ? whilst at the very same time we do abjure him by our neglects, revile him by our Oaths, spit upon him by our uncleanness, buffet him by our Blasphemies, strip him by our Sacriledge, and even Murder him by our Rage? methinks the Blindness of the Heathen may be of some vertue to clear our Eyes. For the Disciples of Pythagoras did not only give assent to their Master's Dictates, but also did imitate his Example, and were obedient to his Commands. Just as Alexander's Soldiers did so ambitiously affect to be like their General; that they were loath to speak plainly, because He stutter'd. Or as the Scholars of Plato were so exceedingly concern'd to have a similitude with their Master, that they espoused his Deformities, and prided themselves in his Imperfections. They would have Cushions under their Dublets, because he was Gibbous, or too thick Back't. So devoted they were to their Master Plato, that because he was not strait, they would reckon none hansom who were not Crooked. § 13. Lord! |
