6 Remember what Christ saith of Capernaum. The Capernaites were not so bad as the Gadarenes, who desired Christ to depart from them: much less as the Nazarites, who thrust Christ out of their Coasts. 1For they heard him preach every Sabbath-day,2 and were astonished at his doctrine. And yet because they did not sincerely practise what was taught them, Christ pronounceth a heavy doom against them, Matth. 11. 23, 24. And thou Capernaum which art exalted unto Heaven, shalt be brought down to Hell; for if the mighty works which have been done in thee, had been done ⟨image 8⟩in Sodom, it would have remained unto this day. But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgement, than for thee. It is not enough to praise the Sermons you hear, to admire, and stand astonished at the Doctrine delivered. If you do not practise what is preached. If you do not live Sermons, as well as hear them, it shall be easier for Sodom and Gomorrah at the day of judgement than for you.
