5. Be ashamed to abate and cool in the work of the Lord. God will spue out a lukewarm Christian. When Moses let down his hands Amaleck prevailed; if you cool but a little, the adversaries will wax hot. There are many that labour to cast water ⟨p. 48⟩upon your zeal, but remember the cause is Gods, and say with David, It is before the Lord, I will be more vile still. The people of God will honour you, though Michol scoff at you. It is a great mercy that God hath kept us from blood. God hath left our blood in our veins, let it boil up in the cause of God.

6. Be ashamed to injure the instruments by which God conveys these mercies unto us. When Corah and his company rebelled against Moses and Aaron, then came the plague. As we must not idolize, so we must not injure the golden pipes, through which these mercies flow unto us.
