Secondly, Yet God hath a controversy with Judah; Judah hath no cause to bless her self in her ways that are 1good, because she retained the true Worship of God: Men are very apt to bless themselves in some ways that are not good, because they did choose some other ways that are good; I mean thus, That such men as embrace 2the true Worship of God, are right there, they will have pure Ordinances, and the way of God right according to the Word, and because of that though there be some looseness and negligence in their ways otherwaies, yet 3they put off conscience with this, and think they are the true Worshippers of God, and have the Ordinances of God in the purity and power of them, and so think to swallow down all, much looseness, much carnality, much pride, much sensualness, much hypocrisy, and yet because they are in the way of the true Worship of God they seek to satisfy conscience with this. Oh! take heed of this, God may have a Controversy against you.
