LECTURE XVII.
WE are in the habit of Rsding the ju- and
timatenings in tbe word of God, as denunciatlomr agairst
a~oe other people but owselvea We are very fond of
throwing back upon the Jewa what, upon the principle
of equity md justice, wdd equally belong to ua Gem
tiles. By this mode of reasonkg, wicked, mbelievi
idolaters, mmde- wbarrmongen, addterexa, lad 3

themselves, in their lustful career, that the judgment
is past, and that they may go on in sin with impunity.
Wrt it is not only this abominable clrss of mankind who
rvert the word of God to their own condemnation,

teachers and expounders of the word, Bo take the m e
unholy ground, to limit the Holy Ooe in his justice and
judgment. And by this means they not only wrest tbe
Scriptures to their own condemnation, but otberq rbo
follow their pernicious ways, are led into the same errors,
and the way of truth is evil spoken of.
Tbia manner of expounding Scripture has been used
M the laet resort against my appeals to the heart and
coneciencw of sinners, to preparo to meet God in 'udgmerit.
