- 1The second examination upon the difference between the wicked & the godly. Num. 22. 19. Mat. 26. 39. Rom. 1. 17. Jam. 29. 1.The second examination upon the difference between the wicked & the godly. Num. 22. 19. Mat. 26. 39. Rom. 1. 17. Iam. 29. 1.
First they are distinguished in will: for the wicked strive to bring Gods will to their will, like Balaam, which when he had an answer, stayed for another; but the faithful labour to bring their will to Gods will, like Christ which said; Not as I will, but as thou wilt.
They are distinguished in Faith: All men have not faith (saith Paul) but the just live by faith: as if he should say, the just believe, and the unjust believe not. The just believe, and apply that they believe to themselves; the wicked may believe like the Devils, but their faith is like the gadding Hen, which carrieth her Eggs to other, and never layeth at home: so they believe that other shall be saved, but not themselves.
