16. With regard to these, Mr. _Relly_ and his adherents, it would not
be strange, if they should grow into reputation. For they will never
shock the world, either by the harshness of their doctrine, or the
singularity of their behaviour. But let those who determine both to
preach and to live the gospel, expect that men will _say all manner
of evil of them. The servant is not above his master, nor the disciple
above his Lord. If then they have called the master of the house
Beelzebub, how much more them of his houshold?_ It is their duty
indeed, _as much as lieth in them, to live peaceably with all men_.
But when they labour after peace, the world will _make themselves ready
for battle_. It is their constant endeavour, to _please all men, for
their good, to edification_. But yet they know, it cannot be done: they
remember the word of the apostle, _If I yet please men, I am not the
servant of Christ_. They go on therefore, _through honour and dishonour,
through evil report and good report_: desiring only, that their master
may say in that day, “Servants of God, well done.”
_The End of the_ Fifteenth _Volume_.
_To the_ SUBSCRIBERS.
In this volume is given a sheet extraordinary, on account of there
being one less in the last. And as it will unavoidably happen sometimes,
that a volume must be concluded a few pages short of the number
proposed, on account of ending with a tract, yet the deficiency will be
constantly made up when opportunity serves, in the course of the work.
