But now that man of Authority, who in love to the LORD JESUS and out of the Lion-like boldness of a good conscience, dare and will draw the sword of Justice against the proudest Nimrod, if need require, sets his breast from the beginning to the end of his year, with impartiality and resolution against all the floods of Belial, bends himself with such an universal sincere severity against all sin, that he is now become the drunkards song, &c. That man of GOD which being sensible of the horrible sin of killing souls, dares not but discover unto his people, the damnableness of their state, all kinds of hypocrisy, all sorts of unregeneration, the whole counsel of GOD, and so dwell upon their bosom sins with terror, and truth, and still ⟨p. 57⟩beat upon those bars, with the hammer of the Word, which keeps them from CHRIST, until the Devil be driven out of them. (Which you know, what a world of ungodly opposition, bedlam rage and railing it will raise against a faithful Minister.)
But now that man of Authority, who in love to the LORD IESUS and out of the Lion-like boldnesse of a good conscience, dare and will draw the sword of Iustice against the proudest Nimrod, if neede require, sets his breast from the beginning to the end of his yeare, with impartiality and resolution against all the flouds of Belial, bends himselfe with such an universall sincere severity against all sinne, that he is now become the drunkards song, &c. That man of GOD which being sensible of the horrible sinne of killing soules, dares not but discover unto his people, the damnablenesse of their state, all kinds of hypocrisie, all sortes of unregeneration, the whole counsell of GOD, and so dwell upon their bosome sinnes with terrour, and truth, and still ⟨p. 57⟩beate upon those barres, with the hammer of the Word, which keepes them from CHRIST, untill the Devill be driven out of them.
