Object. 1But we will not be so rash and indiscreet to provoke men to hate and reproach. Sol. Vers. 20.2 They have persecuted Christ who was the ⟨p. 48⟩fountain of all wisdom: and therefore it is a vain persuasion for any child of God to think by any discretion, wholly to still the clamours and hates of wicked men. And those men are grossly deceived and prejudiced that think the true cause of the troubles of Gods children is their own indiscretion.
