A half-way profession is perfectly prohibited in the Word of God. Thanks be to God for those who are decided. The world expects nothing from you; if they have given you up, all the better. Keep yourselves from all those who are burning with the fever of corruption and sin. Some are in a happy state; they live high, they are spiritually minded. God occupies their minds; they sit in heavenly places. God so send you into this paradise, that you may have too far to go to coalesce with the world! These are they who live above the world. What shall I do with the people who are half for Baal, and half for God? They know so much of religion that they are spoiled for the world; such can’t go clean into the world as others can. They don’t go very often to the play-house—only now and then as a rarity. God keep me from the devil’s rarities.
