always endeavour to possess our Hearts with an unfeigned Love and Charity towards them all This is as I said the great Vertue of Christianity the Spirit wherewith our Religion inspires us to love one another because God loved us and as he loved us with such a kind of love which passes by and covers abundance of our failings So should we be inclined to do by others And if we be this Grace will preserve us from all rash as well as false judgment of them because love worketh no evil as the Apostle speaks And this is none of the least evils to condemn our Brethren when they are innocent or before we be well informed about their fault or with a design not to do good to them or to others but only to gratifie our own bad Affections Charity is a proneness and readiness of Mind to do good to others and therefore much more to speak well of them that is all the good we can and not to publish all the ill we know of them unless as I said to prevent others being infected or deceived by them Out of this blessed temper of Mind we must not suffer our selves to be beaten by any ill behaviour of others towards us or their ill treating of us but still retain a sincere Love to their Persons whatsoever hatred we have to their Vices Which will dispose us to wink at many faults to lessen and abate our resentment of others to aggravate none and to judge as favourably as we can of all Except as I said where the common Charity we owe to other Christians obliges to do otherwise for sometimes it is a duty not only to reprove those that are faulty but to rebuke them sharply Tit. I. 13. and with prudent Charity to let both them and others also know our opinion concerning them or their actions which may be a means to amend them and prevent the like guilt for the future both in them and in others Thus if we behave our selves with a just fear of the judgment of God with an impartial observance of our own actions with an universal Charity to all our Brethren we shall not easily break this precept of the Apostle and thereby provoke and dishonour God reproach our selves and injure our Neighbours Who will have just cause to complain of us if we condemn them for every little difference there is in their opinions from ours Of this we ought to take a special care because we have seen the lamentable Effects of it among our selves which show us it is time to lay aside all our uncharitable thoughts one of another and to forbear the heavy censures we have been prone to pass upon those who differ from us We cannot indeed but judge some Doctrines and Practices to be very hainous because they are against the express Word of God as Image-Worship for instance we cannot but call Idolatry because God himself hath so judged it This is to judge according to God's Law and not against it or beside it But to say it is Idolatry to pray by a Form out of a Book or that it Superstition to wear a Surplice or such like things is certainly a grievous crime because it is to condemn that which God's Law no-where condemns And on the other side to pronounce all in general to be Schismaticks who cannot conform to every thing which we think reasonable is at least rash judging For perhaps their scruples arise out of meer weakness of Understanding prejudice of Education or a pious fear of offending God by doing that in which they are not fully satisfied or such like Causes which may excuse them before God of the guilt of Schism even when they live in it Charitable Persons will consider the natural infirmity of all Mankind which God considers much more the prejudices under which they are bred the difficulty of shaking them off the perplexities wherewith some things are intangled by designing Men the great variety there is in our apprehensions the strength of our Passions the value every one of us sets upon his own Opinion our desire to have others of it with a multitude of such like things And upon these accounts bear one with another in matters that hurt not the Faith of Christ nor makes us careless in Christian Practice Here to pass peremptory Sentences is highly presumptuous For how come one sort of Men by a right to Judge Censure and Condemn all the rest Why may not others take the same Authority over them And then there will be nothing but Cursing and Damning throughout the Christian World For this kind of judging you know is come to such a height among some Men that they pronounce Anathema's and pass a Sentence of Damnation upon all those who in any thing believe otherwise than they do This is so contrary to the tender Mercies of our Saviour so destructive of the Communion of Saints so injurious to the Grace of Charity which hopes the best so cross to the precept of Christ judge not that you be not judged such an Enemy to the publick Peace which is easily broken with those who are looked upon as no better than damned Wretches such a forgetfulness of Humane weakness so proud an usurpation of the Divine Prerogative and arrogant tyranny over anothers Servants and to say no more so much against the very Law of Nature which hath made the Understanding free and not to be forced to submit to what it knows to be false that of all things in the World it is most unlike the Christian Spirit and will be so judged at the day of Christ But notwithstanding all our Reasons and Advices there will be too much censuring and judging of all sorts while the World continues as it is Let us therefore see how we ought to behave our selves when we are unjustly censured by others II. And here I shall give as many Directions as I gave Advices 1. First We must watch our selves that we be not provoked by Mens unjust or unkind Censures to return the like Censures upon them To this we are very prone for the most ingenuous Minds have the greatest value for their Reputation and deeply resent the Wounds that are given to their good Name If any thing will make them think their Tongues are their own and incense them to sharpen them like a Sword and be severe in their recrimination this is the Provocation This whets Mens Invention to find out faults as well as to aggravate them and gives a sting to the Words wherein they represent them Which presently turns Censures into Reproaches and heightens Reproaches into downright railing St. Peter's Rule therefore in this case must be observed in the very beginning of it Not rendring evil for evil censure for censure nor railing for railing 1 Pet. Chap. III. Verse 9. Which was exemplified in our blessed Saviour who when he was reviled reviled not again Chap. II. 23. He that returns Censure for Censure blows the fire already kindled
