The Papist of pride, the Family of love of hypocrisy, and many of singularity have1 singled themselves from us, as Hymenaeus did. But we are little discouraged, and less follow it. For if they separate themselves as stones from the building, and as members from the body, what hope is there of them? The Papists will say, we forsake them, and not they us. We forsake them in the wall, they us in the foundation. For our faith ⟨p. 648⟩was before their opinion, though their persons were before ours. As Noah forsook the world, as Lot forsook Sodom, as Abraham forsook Egypt, as our Saviour Christ forsook the Pharisees: so we for sake them, and Christ shall be the judge, who hath been the runagate, who hath been the Apostate.
