In the second place, from the Apostles example:§2 We are to learn in fundamental truths to be zealous. The Apostle speaking of any thing that •e•kes competition with Christ for value, how doth he vilify it? that he hath not words sufficient to e•pr•sse his fervent hatred thereof. For zeal is such an affection as causes a constant hatred against any thing that opposes that which we entirely love: even such a hatred, as will cause us not to endure to hear of it: And God therefore promiseth Ephraim he shall so abhor Idols, as he shall not have to do with them. And indeed a jealous God, and a zealous heart do well agree; when we have to do with any one that opposes God in his truth, we are not to be cold, but to be zealously affected.
