120 ` IlC pap 03avtojFamilp 'Zook Llnlefs you renounce Chrif, youprofefs as much as the ;EIypccrttes named by you, For you profefs Chriftiani ty ; and they profefs no more.: But if they were the falls of feriou,s Chriflians,.I ask you which is die liker fort of ,men to be true Chriftians, They that live impenitently and commonly in grofs fin, and hate thofe that reprove .them and live better ; Or they that live blamelelly in the fear of God , fave that (n2) one among many of them, doth once in his life commit Tome heynous fn, which layeth him in fuch fhame and brokennefs of heart,that oft-times fuch sever well recover their comforts again while they live? Jf Noah was once drunk in his life.: If there were one Cham in his family : If Lot was twice tempted to drunkennefs and. inceft : If David once was guilty of odious fin : If Peter once (or thrice at once.) denyed his Mailer ; if there was one Judas in the f. mìly of Chrift himfelf.; Will any but the Malicious thence con- clude, that 7hey are all alik ? Or that one fn repented pf, is as bad a's a life cffin never truly repented of ? And do you know what your flanderous inference doth import ? No lefs than that Chrift is no Chrift, and that all -the world 'hail be damned. For mark I pray you , that we are. certain, that open ( n) uncon verted inners are not faved from their. fins by Chrift, And that fo dying they are loft for ever. Now you come in and lay , that the .refit , that profefs Repentance and obedience, are in ferret and.at Coe hart as bad as they. And if fo, they -re all certainly 1 =41 men.
