eat of the erttmhs that fall from their M afters tahle^ 
in which words Chrift conipareth the Heathen to 
Dogs : For, i . We fee that Dogs will couple with 
any ftrange Bitch ; thus, the Heathens were not 
like all other men, born in fin only, but of thofe 
Parents who made nothing of the ordinance of 
Marriage; this might be confirmed from many 
examples ; thus the ApoJUey Rom. 1.26. complain- 
eth, that the Women changed the natural uje into 
that which is againft nature'^ as alfo the men leaving 
the natural ufe of Women turned tn their luft one to- 
wards another. 2. They commonly bark at any 
paffenger that cometh by, and a mad Dog will flye 
upon his own Mafter : thus, the Heathens, defti- 
tute of divine light, and without the true Religi- 
on, do blafpheme God, and, as it were bark at 
their Neighbours, by curfing of them. We do not 
ufe to feed Dogs with any thing but what is not fit 
for others to eat ; the Heathens being fo wicked 
and blafphemous againft God, are not worthy of 
Chrift. Further, Dogs do not ufe to run from their 
Mailers, if they can but get food ; the Heathens^ 
as long as they profper in this World, are very well 
contented, but when under troutle and affliftions, 
have nothing to fupport them : Dogs are of fuch 
a beaftly nature, that ( as we faid before ) they 
will devour their own vomit : thus it is with the 
Heathens, who, though often inftru£led in vertue 
by divers of their Poets, yet foon return unto their 
former wicked life ; thus, having fpoken what is 
neceflary for his difcommendation,now, I fhall fee 
what may be faid to his praife and commendation.
