If Christ lose a man, if any be offended, and fall away, I burn, saith the Apostle. When the King, Jer. 36. took that book and burnt it, it is noted of those that stood by, that they did rend their clothes. God takes it as a great sign of a profane heart, when one shall not take such dishonours of his to heart, when he rends not his clothes at the sight of such a thing. Paul when he saw the idolatry that abounded in Athens, was inflamed in his spirit.1

- 1Acts 17.
See what a commendation God gave to Phinehas for his zeal against Zimri and Cosbi, he would have it remembered as a special note of his love to him, which he would not let go unrewarded. If thou dost not then pray for the Churches welfare, If thou art not affected with the loss and disadvantages of the Church, as with thy own, thou wantest this love.
