IT is not only the Opinion of Mr. Brightman, 1but of very ancient Writers, That these Seven Epistles, written to the Seven Churches of Asia, do contain the State and Condition of the whole Church of God, unto the coming of Christ. This First Epistle is written to languishing Ephesus, holding forth the State of the Church, presently after Christ, and his Apostles, and is a good Looking-glass for all those which begin now to languish, and to lose their first Love. Something our Saviour doth commend in this Church; and something he reproves them for: He commends them for what was good; and rebukes them for what was evil. Some will commend what is good in their Friends, but will not take notice of what is evil: Some will take notice of what is evil in ⟨p. 406⟩others, but will not commend what is good. This is not according unto Christs proceeding; the commendation of Good, is a good Introduction to the reprehension of what is evil.
