Now it is manifest, I need not, as I think, to show this out of the Law, nor by the Prophets, nor by the example of godly Kings, how it is by precept commanded, and by practise used: only we will show a few places in stead of many, Deut. 7. vers. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Deut.1 13. 6. 7. Zach. 13. 3. Where we may see, that natural love shall give place to heavenly love; the second table must give place to the first; and the love of man to the love of God. Psal. 16. 4 the Prophet professeth, that he will not once make mention of their names within his lips. For examples we may see Revel. 2. 6. how acceptable it was in the sight of the Lord, that the Church of Ephesus hated the heresy of the Nicolaitans: and Revel. 3. 15. the Spirit of God reproveth the Laodiceans, because they were neither hot nor cold. So grievous a thing is it in the eyes of the Lord, when the world will rather take up false religion, than zealously gainsay it.
Now it is manifest, I neede not, as I thinke, to shew this out of the Law, nor by the Prophets, nor by the example of godly Kings, how it is by precept commaunded, and by practise vsed: onely we will shew a few places in stead of many, Deut. 7. vers. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Deut.1 13. 6. 7. Zach. 13. 3. Where we may see, that naturall loue shall giue place to heauenly loue; the second table must giue place to the first; and the loue of man to the loue of God.
