Thirdly, By abusing our liberties from our yokes, you 1do wrong others, wrong those who are wise, and holy, and peaceable, and you make them to be denied that liberty that otherwise they might have. It is for your sakes ⟨p. 96⟩who are so wanton and run so wild in opinions, and in the looseness of your lives, that (I say) those that are otherwise discreet, wise, and holy, and peaceable, and that would make use of what liberty Christ would have given to his people, they must be denied it for your sakes, it will be upon your account one day, what ever denial they have of that liberty that they would use in a gracious and peaceable way for the honour of God (I 2say) you must answer for it one day, for 'tis your wildness that is the cause of it.
