Be of good cheer, The time is coming when impure mixtures ⟨p. 117⟩will no more be a temptation to the Saints of God, for ever. Saints and Sinners shall no more be burdensome one to another. The Seed of the Serpent, shall no more be an offence to the Seed of the Woman, nor è contrà; but there shall be a perfect separation. The Sheep shall be separated from the Goats; the Elect from the Reprobate; there shall not be a Servant of the Lord amongst the Worshippers of Baal; nor a Son of Beltal among the Sons of God: Sinners and none but Sinners, Saints and none but Saints, shall make up these two distinct Congregations. Nay so terrible will the glory which Christ will put upon his Saints be, upon the faces of the Reprobates; and so great the horror of their own guilty Consciences; that they shall now as much dread their Society, as once they hated it, and choose rather to leap alive into the burning Lake, then to mix themselves unto them; or so much as to put their head within that holy Assembly. ¹This Christ assureth to his Mourners shall be effected in the appointed time; if not, in our time, yet in Gods time, in the time of Harvest. But what shall we do in the mean time? why, saith our Lord, Suffer them to grow together: suffer them; not, by sinful toleration, (in Rulers); nor by sinful compliance (in people): ²but suffer them by patient expectation (in case of necessity), having no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reproving them. If you cannot avoid the Workers, yet avoiding the Works of darkness: and then, in your patience do you possess your Souls.

Nay so terrible will the glory which Christ will put upon his Saints be, upon the faces of the Reprobates; and so great the horrour of their own guilty Consciences; that they shall now as much dread their Society, as once they hated it, and chuse rather to leap alive into the burning Lake, then to mix themselves unto them; or so much as to put their head within that holy Assembly.
