That when we make use of men as a shelter and to seek protection from them, 1if they shall deal vilely with us and accuse us, and ⟨p. 207⟩make a prey upon us, this is a most abominable and cursed wickedness in the eyes of God; This Levite came from Jebus and would not lodge with them, but to Gibeah, thinking to have had protection there, and yet these deal vilely: Doth any man put himself under any of you for protection, and do you deal falsely? Oh! this is an abominable thing in the eyes of God.

Secondly,1 That sometimes we may meet with worse usage from such who profess Religion and more strictness in their ways, than from those who outwardly are further off from profession. It may be if they had gone to Jebus they would not have met with such ill usage, as they did when they came to Gibeah: sometimes it is so that they that make profession of Religion they are guilty of more ill usage to the servants of God than others that are profane and ungodly, or of another Religion.
