Sermons preached

(1.) That Men shall be called to an account for these Sins as well as others, they are not passed by in the Judgment. Jud. 15. God will execute Judgment upon all ungodly Sinners, not only for their ungodly Deeds, but for all their hard Speeches. Now if injurious and contumelious Language come into the Judgment, how should all beware of the least accession to this Guilt? So, 1 Pet. 4. 4, 5. They speak evil of you, who shall give an account to him that is ready to judg the Quick and the Dead. The Mockers, as well as Persecutors, were to give a strict and sad Account. It is no slight and light Sin to ⟨p. 189⟩divulge and spread false Calumnies, to hurt the Credit of our Brethren. God takes notice of a Thought in our Heart against them, a Word in our Mouths, and will exact a strict Account thereof.

(2.) It is the Property of a Citizen of Zion, one that shall be not only accepted with God now, but dwell with God for ever, not to be given to Backbiting.
