If any that were in communion should prove 1naught, you would quickly take advantage, and say, You spake so much of communion with Gods people, see here is one of them, whose life is thus base and vile: When we know the world would take such advantage if any prove naught, yea, and you your selves will be offended, and cry out of all, for the sin of one; can you blame us if we be careful in taking any into communion with us?

Psal. 84. 6. The way to Zion, it was through the valley of Baca: they might have said, We could 1have been content to go to Zion, and to worship God there, but we must go through that valley, of tears; but they were content to go through that valley, so that they might appear before God in Zion: Surely when God moves the hearts of men to join with his people, a little difficulty cannot hinder them: Isaiah 66. 20. They shall bring your brethren as an offering ⟨p. 275⟩to the Lord, upon horses, in Chariots, and Litters. A Litter is used especially for weak sickly people, that are not able to travel otherwise; although they be weakly, and sickly, unfit to travel, yet they whose hearts God moves, will rather come in Litters, then not at all. What difficulty will superstition put a man upon?
