they had not faith and courage enough to venture for him, and therefore it's said, He did love the present world; he loved his life and liberty too much; though some think this was but a temptation in Demas, and that he did return to Paul again. By this we see, how hard a thing it is, to own those that are godly in their extremities. John 19. 38, 39. It is noted both of Joseph of Arimathea, and of Nicodemus, both Disciples of Christ, but secretly for fear of the Jews, yet when Christ was crucified, they showed their boldness and courage about Christs body, when he was dead. And Matth, 25. at that terrible day of Judgement, judicial process against sins of omission, will be for neglect in this, I was in prison, and ye visited me not. When Christ and his cause are discountenanced in the world, then unless a man have a sincere and upright heart, he will curse with Peter, and swear, That he knoweth not the men.
