If the Shoe Pinches, Throw It Away

“But if you look into the church and consider the dissensions there, there is an additional reason for them, for usually many hypocrites are mingled in with the godly there. They take up a profession of religion and so creep into the church; they find spiritual things unsuitable to them, hence they fly off. Their spirits not being brought under the yoke of Christ, they fling against those things that pinch them” (Burroughs, Irenicum, p. 346).
