2. In point of Ordinances, and Christ purchased privileges: rHere 'tis dangerous encroaching indeed. God exactly measured Canaan because it was to be the seat of a National Church. If you love your lives, if you love your souls, be tender in this point. Here if you meddle with that which belong not unto you, were you Kings, all your glory would be laid in the dust. 2 Chr. 26. 18. woe to them who cut short the Saints of God in the least jot, of what he hath allotted to them in spirituals. Is it for any of you, O ye sons of men, to measure out Gods children's portion, long since bequeathed them by Christ? Let them alone with what is given them. If God call Israel out of Egypt to serve him, shall Pharaoh assign who, and how they shall go, First men only, then all without their cattle? nay says Moses, we will go as God calls, Exod. 10. 26.
