Let those that make themselves a yoke and a burden to God's people, see what they are to expect. Let those that are the called according to God's purpose, comfort themselves, that whatever God has purposed, it shall stand.

By such dispensations of providence, the Almighty shows in the most convincing manner, that sin is hateful in his sight.
