I. Scripture-light the most sure light ... delivered in three sermons on 2 Pet.…

IN the Verses next precedent, and consequent, you may see the difference between the true, and the false Disciple; both sinned, but they differ in their sin, and in the issue of it. The true Disciple sleeps, when he should have prayed; and he slept again, and again, that was his sin; for our Saviour commanded them to watch and pray: but Christ wakened them, and would not leave them sleeping; he came to them with his wakening mercy, and they were awakened, that was the issue of their sin. But the false Disciple Judas, was awake, and he watched unto what was evil: the good Disciple slept unto what was good, and the false Disciple watched unto what was evil; that was his sin: For while Christ yet spake (ver. 17.) Lo Judas, one of the Twelve, came, and with him a great multitude, with Swords and Staves, from the chief Priests and Elders of the People. Now he that betrayed him, gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, ⟨p. 378⟩that same is he, hold him fast: and forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail Master, and kissed him: This was his Sin, wherein our Saviour leaves him, and doth not awaken him, but suffered him to go on, leading him forth with the Workers of iniquity: That was the issue of his Sin.
