Now the observation that I should have noted from hence is this,1 That unfaithfulness in service provokes God to cast us out of service. I cannot stand to set an edge upon it.

And then another Note is this, That it is a great judgment to be rejected from the Priests Office, 1from the Office of a Minister. I will reject thee that thou shalt be no Priest to me. To be rejected from any employment it is a great judgment, Neb. 5.13. So God shake out every man from his house and from his labour that performeth not this promise. It is a judgment to be shaken out of our labour, but to be shaken out of such an office whereby we draw so nigh unto God as to be the mouth of God unto the people, and the mouth of the people unto God again, this is a sore evil.
