but mine eye poureth out teares unto God, Iob 16. 19, 20. Brother Burton, it cannot be denied, but that you and your party, have brought the same accusation against me, as Satan, and Iobs friends brought against him; yet as God reproved them, & accepted of Iob, Iob. 42. 8. so my God whom I in truth and sincerity serve with the twelve Tribes of Israel day and night, Act. 26. 7. hath appro∣ved, and will accept of mee, maugre all the power, false accusa∣tions, Revilings, subtle Wiles, and workings of Satan; for, as the Apostle saith, 2 Cor. 2. 11. I am not ignorant of his devises; nay, herein I have comfort, because I know the faithfull servants of God in all ages have beene traduced and accused for Hypocrites, and scandalous Walkers; wee reade 2 Cor. 10. 2. that the false Apo∣stles did thinke, or reckon of Paul, as one that walked according to the flesh; but as the Apostle speaketh to them, in the third verse of that Chapter, so I say to you, that though I walke in the flesh, yet I doe not warre after the flesh, &c.
