The Necessity, Excellency, Rarity, and Beauty of HOLINESSE.
HEBREWS 12.14. Follow Peace with all men, and Holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.
I Remember a saying of golden mouthed Chrysostom, 1If I were (said he) the fittest man in the world to preach a Sermon to the whole world, gathered together in one Congregation, and had some high mountain for my Pulpit, from whence I might have a prospect of all the world in my view, and were furnished with a voice of Brass, a voice as loud as the trumpet of the Arch-Angel, that all the world might hear me, I would choose to preach on no other text then that in Psalm 4.2. O mortal men, how long will ye love vanity, and follow after leasing? So I say, had I Chrysostoms tongue, head and heart, and were I every way advantaged to preach a Sermon to the whole world, I would choose to preach on ⟨p. 2⟩this Text, before any other in the Bible, Follow peace with all men, and Holiness without which no man shall see the Lord.
