The queries I have met with, are such as these: two objections when I was designed to this service, were sent me in writing, which, when thoroughly viewed, I perceived nothing at all to concern our case, or covenant. Obj. 1. Whether by any law, divine or human, may reformation of religion be brought in by arms? Ans. 1.
These two pieces of armour then that Solomon the king did put into the house of the forest of Lebanon, were types of the spiritual armour that the church in the wilderness should make use of. And as we read of no more that was put there, at least to be typical, so we read of, and must use no more than we are bid to put on by the apostle, for the defence of true religion. Obj.
Therefore it will be best to give God liberty to dispense his favours as he will, and that thou be about thy commanded duty, the exercise of faith, love, fear, patience, &c. Obj. 3. But if at any time I got a sight of my case, it would be some peace and satisfaction to me. Ans. I grant that, and what knowest thou; but thou mayest also get that favour ere thou die.
We swear not against a government that is not. 2. We swear against the evils of every government; and doubtless many materials of prelacy must of necessity be retained, as absolutely necessary. 3. Taking away the exorbitances, the remaining will be a new government, and no prelacy. Obj.
Now since we cannot give these people eyes, Nor regulate their judgment, wherein lies, Our work with them, if not, as has been said, In exercising patience. While display'd The holy word before their faces is, By which alone they must see what's amiss With their poor souls, and so convert again, To him with whom salvation doth remain. Obj.
But when the consciences of good men are captivated with an error, none can stop them from a prosecution thereof, as if were itself of the best of truths. Obj. But Paul preached frequently on the old sabbath, and that after the resurrection of Christ. Ans. To the unbelieving Jews and their proselytes, I grant he did.
Not the parliament, for then the cavaliers will be found fighters against religion, and resisters of God. 3. I answer negatively, it is not. The sword is not the means which God hath ordained to propagate the gospel: "Go and teach all nations;" not, go and subdue all nations, is our Master's precept. Obj. 2.
By their impatience, and fretting, and repining against God, and his wise dispensations, they also prejudge and wrong themselves; for while they are in that mood, they cannot with due composedness of Spirit, go to Christ, and draw life from him through faith. Obj. 3. But is there not even some of those who are most tender, that complain of their deadness and shortcomings? Ans. 1.
Yea, thou shouldst labour to be growing in these direct acts of faith; and learn to submit to God herein, knowing that those reflect acts are not absolutely necessary; and that thou shouldst think it much if he bring thee to heaven at length, though covered with a cloud all thy days. Obj. 2. But others get much more clearness. Ans.
He could only sit back and wonder what the deuce Sara meant by behaving like this. It was not by way of being a profitable excursion, if we are to judge by the amount of pleasure Leslie derived from the two hours' spin through the cool, leafy byways of the forest with the obj ect of his heart's desire on the seat beside him.
