My Brethren, Let us never regard much the sudden affections and sudden expressions of people, though people may 1seem to be up and very forward in their affections and expressions, yet (I say) never rest too much upon them; There is nothing more uncertain than the spirits of the multitude, and therefore it is the most irrational thing 2for any of wisdom to think to carry things that way, if he thinks to carry it constant; you may get them in a hurry in one way at one time, but they will be quickly off again, and that which one time they will cry up, at another time they will cry down; and such a kind of alteration of spirits these times will be a witness to, I believe as great as ever times were, from the beginning of the world, Now they sin more and more. And now.
