Reflect upon the scandal your divisions give to the World; how it hardens and prejudices them against Religion and Reformation. And thus the Souls of Men are eternally hazarded by the follies of Professors: They are ready enough to take occasions against Religion, where none are given, and much more to improve them where occasions are given. Woe unto the world (saith Christ) because of offences: for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that ⟨p. 429⟩man by whom the offence cometh, Matt. 18.

7. The woe is not only denounced against the taker, but the giver of the offence. It fixes such prejudices in the hearts of carnal Men, that some of them will never have good thoughts of Religion any more; but utterly distaste and nauseate those Assemblies and Ordinances from which their Conversion may with greatest probability be expected.
