Chaff, before it is separated from the Wheat, cleaves close to it; and the Wheat must be trod or threshed, before the one can be separated from the other. | SO some wicked Men, I mean Hypocrites, seem to cleave close to the Saints, and to be in perfect Union or Oneness with them: And the Godly must be trod upon, or threshed with the Flail of Persecution, before they, as sacred Wheat, can be separated from the Chaff, viz. counterfeit Christians. ⟨p. 224⟩
