Heaven upon earth in the serene tranquillity and calm composure, in the sweet peace…

for as there may be in Hypocrites light without zeal (which light doth not readily keep them from miscarrying,) so when the judgment of a Believer is mis-informed, and zeal driveth him without light, he then very readily miscarries; as we may see Acts 21. and 20. James saith to Paul, Thou▪ seest brother how many thousands of Jews there are that believe, and they are all zealous of the law, &c. their zeal was such for the Ceremonial Law of Moses, that ⟨p. 67⟩neither Paul nor any of the other Apostles could get them taken off; and Paul was forced to stoop to them in many things, when it might in reason have been thought that they should rather have ceded to the Apostle; Thus Believers when not well informed, but having an honest zeal for God, are like a Ship that hath more sail than ballast, and so cannot well bear up into the wind, nor steer a straight and steady course; and from this honest zeal of theirs they may err and go wrong, yea even be displeased with others, that will not go along with them in their Error: As all these are incident to Believers, so they would watchfully take heed that in these and other such cases they give not credit to, nor lay weight upon all that their Conscience saith.
