And therefore let us suffer GOD too rule and condemn ⟨image 199⟩us, to the end he might pardon us. We shall find a great number of men that would be very glad the Gospel should be preached, so that it might be for their gain, & serve their carnal desires, and be as it were a cloak for their villainies. Now, this must not be the end of our preaching: For our Lord Jesus Christ said, That when the holy Ghost should come, that he should rebuke the world of sin: that he should sit as a Judge in the place of justice, and judge the world.1 And therefore we shall never be able to deal faithfully with the Gospel, without the world be brought to this condemnation, and that every man may know what it is, for every of us to rebuke himself.

Now, this must not bee the end of our preaching: For our Lord Iesus Christ saide, That when the holy Ghost should come, that he should rebuke the world of sinne: that hée shoulde sit as a Iudge in the place of iustice, and iudge the world.1 And therfore wée shal neuer bée able to deale faithfully with the Gospel, without the worlde bée brought to this condemnation, and that euery man may know what it is, for euerie of vs to rebuke himselfe.
