Fourthly, Seeing God is loth to make his people like to others, 1like to the wicked and reprobates in punishments, let not them make themselves like to them in sin. Doth God put a difference between Reprobates and his People in punishment? Oh! let the Saints then labour to put a difference between themselves and such as are of the world in matter of sin, let that be no argument to them, Such and such do thus, and why may not I do so •oo? that's no argument with God; I have destroyed such and such, and why may not I destroy thee? that argument will not prevail with God. Thou committest such a sin, and I have some in Hell that I sent thither for the same sin: but this argument prevails not with God: Oh! let not such an argument prevail with thee, that because such and such sin, therefore I will venture too.
