Ungodliness.
Vngodlines.
1 WE may not go to see ungodliness, to breed a great detestation of it in us. For1 first, in respect of our selves in so doing, & presuming on a thing not warranted,2 it is the just judgement of God, that we should learn to fall into that sin, whereof before we were ignorant, because naturally we are inclined to such an action▪ Secondly, in respect of our brethren it is unlawful: for if they be strong, we offend them; if they be weak, we mislead them. Thirdly, in regard of Gods glory it is unlawful: for such should be our zeal thereunto, (if not having heroical spirits, by the motions of Gods spirit to speak against it) that we should not oversee such a thing. Dan. 3. 15.34
