C Urteous Reader, be not too censorious concerning him that is the Publisher of this little Treatise, styled, The difference between the Christian and Antichristian Church, as if he condemned the Ages and Generations that are past, as in a lost condition; because he saith they have built their house upon wood, and hay, and stubble, and not upon the sure rock Jesus the Christ: Far be it from him to judge so •ashly of the Ages and Generations past, or present, concerning their final estate; for •ee is commanded to judge no man before •he time, knowing that they stand and fall to their own Master: And, we shall all stand before the judgement seat of Christ; ⟨image 48⟩And then and there every one shall give an account for himself to God, Rom. 14. 4, 10, 12. Knowing, as it is recorded in the inspired Scriptures, that If any man build upon this foundation (Jesus the Christ) gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay stubble; Every mans work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it; because it shall be revealed by fire: and th• fire shall try every mans work. If any mans work abide, which he hath buil• thereon, he shall receive a reward: If any mans work shall be burnt, he shall suffer loss; but himself shall be saved yet so as by fire,
