did he not rather the more take occasion to pull them out of them, saying sometime, O ye of little faith: at other times, The Lords of nations seek after these things: but it shall not be so with you, but he that is greatest among you, shall be least? Even so let us do: the more iniquity we behold among men, the §Gmore let us estrange our selves from such, and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, and take no occasion to be any thing more backward by that: for then, we must never look to do good, seeing we shall always have such among us. For there shall always be enmity betwixt the seed of the woman,¹ and the seed of the serpent: and the dragon shall make war with them that keep the commandments of God and the testimony of Jesus, Reu. 12.17: and their dwelling is, as was the dwelling of the church of Pergamus, where Satan's throne is, Reu. 2.13. But let us take occasion therefore to settle our hearts more firmly by our living among such, in the love of goodness, and set more store by them whom God hath raised up to be as §Hwatchmen & good examples among us:² let us love the saints with a more perfect love, even such as excel in virtue, and break not of our fellowship with them when occasions are offered, lest we have our acquaintance with devils.
