Yet further,1 Jehu saw the danger of that wicked and abominable sin of Idolatry in others, but he could not see it in himself. What peace (said he to Joram) so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel continue? What peace? Then what peace Jehu, so long as the whoredoms of Israel continue afterwards? This is ordinary (my brethren) for men to see a great deal of evil and danger in the sins of others, but when they should come to themselves, to be blind there; to inveigh against the sins of other men, when they seem to be far off from them, or that they cannot make use of them; but when they can make use of them, then to embrace them. Thus it was with Saul, he was exceeding severe against Witch-craft, all the Witches in Israel must be put to death: but when Saul had use of a Witch for his lust, he himself goeth to the Witch of Endor.
