2. Let your holy strictness show it self against those, whom you most affect: TELL them; Child, I Love you, and therefore I cannot, will not behold the least iniquity in you, Hab. 1.13. So Christ acted towards his beloved Disciples, Mat, 15.16, 17. & 17.17. Tell 'em, you cannot, will not pardon them, Exo. 23.21. Let them know, that you can be Angry, and if words will not do, the Rod shall, and that you can make that Rod smart, Exo. 4.24. Tell them, though they may presume to provoke you to bewail them, you will not suffer them to provoke God to Hate them, Isa. 63.10. Psal. 78.58, 59. and that you had rather hear them cry, and see them bleed, yea and dye here, than hear them howl, and see them burned and damned hereafter. Correct 'em therefore, but in Love, Wisdom, Measure, Season.
