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.

7. Take heed of being ashamed of the cause of Christ. God hath not been ashamed to appear for us, let us not be ashamed to appear for him. Remember that thundering speech, Mark. 8. 38. Whosoever shall be ashamed of me and my words, in this adulterous 1and sinful generation, of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of his Father, with the holy Angels. It is not enough not to be ashamed of Christ in a good generation, but we must not be ashamed of him in an adulterous and sinful generation.
