2. Doct. Jesus Christ would have none but pure Wheat be gathered into his Garner; not the fleshly and spiritual Seed, not the Believer and the Unbeliever, not godly ones and ungodly ones, not the Chaff and the Wheat, as it was under the Law, in the National Church of the Jews. Not whole Parishes, or whole Nations, no, no, none but true Christians, or holy persons, sanctified and sincere, and truly gracious Souls.
3. Doct. Christs great Work and Office is to purge his People, to cleanse them, and make them holy, and to sever the Wheat from the Chaff, the pure from the impure; or to separate Hypocrites from his Church, and purge his Saints from all their inward Filth and Corruption: He would have no Chaff there, none that are falsehearted and unsound, such he will first or last purge out; and he will make them that are good to be much better, more clean, more holy, more pure, he will purge out the chaff of Hypocrisy, Unbelief, Pride, Passion, Covetousness, Vain Glory, Carnality, and all manner of Corruption whatsoever that is in them; he sets as a Refiner and Purifier of Silver, and he will throughly purge away their Dross, and take away all their Tin. The 1time draws near in which the sinners in Zion shall be afraid, fearfulness shall surprise the Hypocrites: Who amongst us shall dwell with 2devouring fire? who amongst us shall dwell with everlasting Burnings?
