I deny not, that we have grievous offenders: we mourn and pray for them. Do the Papists rejoice at this? Woe to him that is glad of Gods dishonour. Let them brag their perversion of some which were ours, but such and so affected to viciousness. If we had lost more of Atheists, sacrilegious Adulterers, licentious hypocrites we had as little reason to complain, as they to be proud. We are the fewer, they not the better. We desire, endeavour reprove, exhort, instruct all, with purpose of heart to save them in the day of the Lord Je•u• ; if they wish not the same. We are content to differ as far from them in our desires, as we do in our doctrines. If there were none ⟨p. 57⟩sick, we might lay aside our Physic,ⁿ but there are many, too many, all in some measure, some in all measure, beyond measure, therefore we must proceed.
