THE TEMPLE.
2. COR. 6.16. What agreement hath the Temple of God with Idols?
IT is not fit, they should be too familiar o• near together in this world, whose portions shall be so far asunder in the world to come. The Sheep and Goats are indeed now blended promiscuously, and none can distinguish them here, but he that shall separate them hereafter: the right and left hand of the last Tribunal shall declare them. But they that be alien or opposite to us in Faith and Profession, are manifest, and we have a ⟨p. 2⟩frequent charge De non commiscendo. Now the nearer this ill matched conjunction, the more intolerable; the same board, ill; the same bed, worse; worst of all, the same Temple. So the Apostle begins his dehortation, Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers: so he ends it, What agreement hath the Temple of God with Idols! Divers seeds of grain in one ground, divers kinds of beasts in one yoke,1 divers sorts of cloth in one garment, were expressly forbidden under the Law: and shall several Religions be allowed in one Church under the Gospel?
