It is with us as it was with Nehemiah when he undertook the great work of rebuilding the Temple, he was opposed by great men especially. The Nobles of Tekoah refused to put their necks to the yoke of the Lord. This is an eternal brand upon them, Nehem. 3. 5.

Thus it was in Nehemiah's days. And this is one of the miseries of Civill War above all other kinds of War: For there are always some false brethren, some Judases in civill War. But I believe better things of you. The Lord make you more and more faithful to his Cause! Remember what became of Judas for his treachery.
