A saint or a brute the certain necessity and excellency of holiness, &c. ...…

Answ. If any do so against such as are sanctified and renewed, and have the Spirit of Christ, and live to God, they deal uncharitably; and if you dislike their censoriousness, so do I, and so do all the sober, considerate servants of the Lord. But if it be only against the carnal unsanctified world that they do thus, it is God that maketh the difference and not they. Do you not find the whole Scripture dividing all the world into two ranks, the godly and the ungodly? the regenerate and unregenerate? the converted and unconverted? the sanctified and unsanctified? the carnal and the spiritual? the earthly-minded and the heavenly-minded? the pardoned and unpardoned? the justified and unjustified? the children of God, and the enemies of God? the servants of God, and of the Devil? the heirs of heaven, and the heirs of hell? To prove this would be to repeat the Bible. Read Psalm 1. & 37. & 15. & 10. Matth. 5. Rom. 8. Joh. 3. Matth. 13. 1 Joh 3. &c. Do you not find Christ himself acquainting you before hand that one sort shall be set at his right hand in judgement, and the other at his left; and one part sent to life everlasting, and the other […] ⟨p. 94⟩[…] ⟨p. 95⟩[…] ⟨p. 94⟩[…] ⟨p. 95⟩⟨p. 96⟩to everlasting punishment? Matth. 25. Do they speak any mo•e of the everlasting torments, the worm that dyeth not, the fire that is unquenchable, then Christ himself hath done?
