Lord would not have spared you, but the anger of the Lord, and his Iealousie would have smoaked against you Deu. 29. 20..The other thing that I would to this purpose commend, is that ye would remember, that besides Haeresie, which opposeth the truth professed by the Kirk, and beside Schisme, which destroyeth the Unity of the Kirk, Profanenesse of heart and life, which is a third pst, hath ever spoiled the holinesse of the Kirk, and is a most high provocation against the most holy Lord God, which we are all to strive against, as vvell as against Haeresie and Schisme, by joyning the povver of Godlinesse with the Profession and forme thereof 2. Tim. . 5., and by holding the mystery of the Faith in a pure Conscience1. Tim. 3. ., which some sometime amongst you, having put away (and that with violence done to their conscience, as the Word dimporteth) concerning Faith have made shipwrack1. Tim. 1. 19., and have endeavoured to bring others upon the Rocks, that they might perish with them. Spirituall judgements are to be observed no lesse then temporall, both because there is more wrath in them, and they are more hardly discerned. Pelagianisme of old, and Arminianisme of late, is the just punishment of a formall Profes∣sion, Socinianisme, of the neglect of the Sonne of God, Antino∣mianisme, of turning the grace of God into wantonnesse, Ana∣baptisme, of Baptizing of Infants in private, and of the slighting of the Baptisme in publick, as if it did not concerne the whole Congregation; and Separation, of the despising of the true Government of the Kirk; so doth the Lord send strong delusions upon them that receive not the love of the truth, and take plea∣sure in unrighteousnesse. Thes. 2. 10, 11, 12.. I will not excuse the length of this Epistle, because I intended it. I am not bounded to a time in wri∣ting, as I behoved to be in Preaching. I am bold with you, be∣cause I know you. To save you from spirituall judgements, to deliver you comfortably from your present troubles, and to make you walke worthy of the grace wherein the Lord hath abourded toward you, that you fall not, and that you may be presented fault∣lesse before Christ with joy, is and shall be the humble and earnest desire, and prayer ofYour humble Servant, and obedient Son, in and for the Gospel of CHRIST.0
