so there is a great long train in the Devils camp, there are some leaders, and profest opposers of Christ, which the sun is weary to behold, and the earth is weary to bear, these are the soldiers, and captains, and commanders, and poor ignorant creatures, and carnal gospellers that follow the baggage, they are of the black guard too, though they are the tail of the army, yet they are of the army of the Devil, and they are all young Satans, though their talents be not so long, and their claws so sharp, as others are; they have not learned the skill to make a prey of a poor man, as others have, but yet they will approve of that which others do: consider this then all ye that stand in open defiance against Christ, all you that join sides with, and give a kind of allowance to such ungodly courses, you are guilty and found tardy in this case, though the sin be not yours by action, yet you make it by approvement: thus the open enemy to Christ is gone, as also the poor ignorant creature, and carnal gospeller, and civilized person, who though the will not do a thing, yet it is roast meat to him to see it done.
