SECT. 5.

3. VNder the Gospel, we are also excluded any society, or fel∣lowship* 1.1 with them, unlesse as formerly, as being conver∣sant at the Word preaching, &c. for by that meanes we read, that three thousand soules of such like were converted at one Sermond by Peter, and so added to the number of them, who were then of the Church, Act. 2. 41. We also read, that when divers were hardned and beleeved not, but spake evill of the way before the multitude, that the Apostle departed from them, and separated the Disciples, Act. 19. 9. intimating a division, as to di∣vide the Sheep from the Goats, least they should corrupt them, by their life and conversation; For with the pure thou shalt be pure, but with the froward thou wilt learne froward things. The Apostle also exhorteth, not to be unequally yoaked together with unbeleevers, for what communication (saith he) hath light with darknesse, righteousnesse with unrighteousnesse, and what concord hath Christ with Beliall, or what part hath he that beleeveth with an Infidell, and what agreement hath the Temple of God with Idols, 2 Cor. 6. 14, 15.

Joseph also being in Pharaohs Court, and accompanying himselfe with his Courtiers, got an habite to sweare by their

accustomed Oath, viz. By the life of Pharaoh, Gen. 42. 15, 16. by all which presidents the people of God ought to seperate themselves from the deboyst Russians of the times, unlesse in the cases aforementioned.
