I observe, in this Epistle, the Apostle makes a distinction of Believers into three Ranks, as you shall find in the second Chapter, I write unto you Little Children, I write unto you Young men, and I write unto you Fathers; in the close of the Epistle, he concludes with this Charge, to Little Children. Now, whether he includes all the rest under this Title of Little Children, I forbear to dispute: But sure I am, it is a duty lies upon one and other, whether ⟨p. 131⟩they be Babes, or Young men, or Aged Fathers in Christ; Whatever our rank and condition be, I am sure of this, This is a great Duty that lies upon all that will approve themselves in Godliness, and to be brought over to the faith of the Gospel, that they look to their Worships, and that they take heed of Idols; as if he should say, He that is born of God, he keeps himself that the wicked One doth not touch him. Oh Little Children, show forth that spiritual Ability that by grace you are furnished withal, by being able to keep your selves from Idols.
