By JOHN GOODVVIN, Minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go, and gather them up? But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the Wheat with them. Let both grow together until the Harvest, &c.
Matth. 13. 28, 29, 30.
Man, who hath made me a Judg, or Divider over you?
Luke 12. 14.
Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind:
Matth. 15. 14.
Dei lex nos docuit quid sequamur: humanae leges hoc docere non possunt. Extorquere solent timidis commutationem: fidem inspirare non possunt.
Ambros. Epist. 13.
