1. In case of necessary defence of the Truth, against some dangerous Error of some men otherwise pious and tolerable, the greatest Pillars of the Church have usually named them. I hope all those Judaizers that Paul so sharply writeth against, were not in a state of damnation▪ Doubtless Peter and Barnabas were not, Gal. 2. nor I hope Demas, nor all the rest that he saith were not like-minded to Timothy, but sought their own and not the things of Jesus Christ▪ And I hope the like of Diotrephes, much more assuredly of John that blamed him, though that beloved Disciple is thrice named as culpable (seeking to be greatest, and offering to call for Fire from Heaven, and forbidding one to do Miracles in Christs Name.) And Peter oft, and once tremendously (Matth. 16.) rebuked by Christ. The sins of Noah and his Sons, Lot and his Wife and Daughters, Sarah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and his Sons, Moses, Aaron, Miriam, many Judges, Eli, David, Solomon, Rehoboam, Asa, Hezekiah, Josiah, and many more, are left on Record in Scripture, with their names, by him who is LOVE it self, and hareth uncharitableness.
