The Saints oftentimes erred like men.
We must distinguish offices from the persons. We hate punishment, but we love sin. God preserveth the sanctified, yea, even in the midst of errors. No great Saint lived without errors. A Christian's life consisteth of three points-of faith, love, and the cross. We command a Christian in nothing, he is only admonished. We must curb ourselves in our own wills and minds. All revenge among Christians is taken away; they must grow up and increase in the fruits of the spirit, among which love is the greatest, for she goeth about with the people. Human reason comprehendeth not, nor understandeth that Christ is our brother. Christ is given unto us that believe with all his benefits and works. Christ cometh unto us by preaching, so that he is in the midst of us. |
