You think because of the weakness of your grace, you must be borne with in this, and that, and what not? But remember, it is your duty to live up to the light and grace you have; and nothing below this will effectually stop the mouths 1of graceless wretches from barking against the ways of God, the truths of God, and the people of God. Vain men will be often a reasoning thus, Though such and such men and women, have not such great knowledge, such clear light, such strong love, and such burning zeal, as David, Paul, and other Worthies, yet they have so much light, and knowledge, as tells them, that they should not carry themselves thus and thus as they do. Their light and knowledge tells them, that they should be just and righteous in their dealings, and in all their ways and designs, &c. Though they have not such great measures of spiritual enjoyments, as such and such; yet that little grace they have, should lead them b y the hand to ⟨p. 107⟩do things worthy of that Christ, and that Gospel they profess, &c.
