Mercy in case of our own estates. But here some may say, §8What, may we regard our own particular estates before the service of God? Yea, in some cases we may; as thus, Suppose we were in the Assembly at public Ordinances, and there should be a fire in the Town or thieves breaking into a house, we might lawfully leave the Ordinances to quench the fire, or to apprehend the thieves, and save our goods. Numb. 9.13. If a man were in a journey, and in the mean time the Passover were to be delivered, he might go on in his journey, and do his business, and yet no sin to him. So may we, if in a journey or special business, if not on purpose we go about this in ⟨p. 608⟩slighting or contemning of the Ordinance, we may go on in our business without sin, God will have mercy.
