5. Let us carefully abstain from evil company. Ungodly men are Gods enemies, and we should in that regard look upon them as ours, Psal 139.21. Do I not hate them, Oh Lord, that hate thee? And God is therefore angry, when we make choice of such to be our intimates, ⟨p. 19⟩and enter into alliances with them. How was Jehoshaphat rebuked and threatened for this? 2 Chron. 19.2. Shouldst thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate the Lord? therefore is wrath upon thee from the Lord. And if we will associate our selves with such persons, we shall learn of their ways, and walk with them; and then we shall not walk with God, because his ways and theirs are contrary; and doubtless the little regard that men have to the choice of their Companions, is none of the least reasons why Professors at this day make so little progress in their Christian Walk, and that there is so great an Apostasy among them.
