Inference 4.
1The enemies of Christ are objects of pity. Alas they are blind, and know not what they do. It's pity that any other affection than pity, should stir in our hearts towards them. Were their eyes but open, they would never do as they do. We should look upon them as the Physician doth upon his sick distempered Patient. Did they but see with the same light you do, they would be as far from hating Christ or his ways as you are Simul ac desinunt ignorare, desinunt odisse, as soon as they cease to be ignorant, they cease to hate saith Tertullian.
