Two treatises the first of death, on I Cor. 15:26, the second of judgment…

Nor will it serve your turn at the bar of God, to talk of the miscarriages or scandals of some, that took on them to be godly, no more then to run out of the Ark for the sake of Ham, on out of Christs family for the sake of Judas. What ever men are, God is Just, and will do you no wrong; and you are called to Believe in God, and to serve him, and not to believe in men. Nothing but wickedness could so far blind men, ⟨p. 29⟩as to make them think they may cast off their love & service to the Lord, because some others have dishonoured him: Or that they may cast away their souls by carelessness, because some others have wounded their souls by particular sins. Do you dislike the sins of Professors of Godliness? So much the better: We desire you not to agree with them in sinning: Join with them in a Holy life, and imitate them so far as they obey the Lord; & go as far beyond them in avoiding the sins that you are offended at, as you can, and this is it that we desire. Suppose they were Covetous, or Liars, or Schismatical: Imitate them in holy duties, and fly as far from Covetousness, Lying, and Schism, as you will.
