Reas. 4 Fourthly, Let not Judah sin, for what then should become of Gods worship? For God had no other people upon the face of the earth but Judah and Israel to worship him; well, Israel is gone from him, and will Judah go too? what will become of the worship of God? A mighty argument to those that make profession of godliness to keep them from the ways of false worship and wickedness in any kind.1 If you depart from God too as others do, what honour will God have in the world? what will become of the service of God in the world? Is not God worthy of all honour and of all service from all his creatures? It is pity there should be any creature in the world that should not honour and serve the blessed and infinite God; But we see most do not, and there are but a few, a handful of people that regard to worship God aright, and shall this few this handful forsake God? where then shall God have any honour in the world? Shall Judah go away too? then the Lord will have no Church, no worship, no service in the world.
