Some men magnify the importance of their own little clique of believers by denying the godliness of all who differ from them. They remind one of Bishop Racket's story. 'At Wimbledon,' says he, 'not far from me, a warrener promised Thomas, Earl of Exeter, that he should have a burrow of rabbits, all of them of what colour he pleased. 'Let them be all white,' said that good Earl. Whereupon I killed up all the rest but the white rabbits, and sold them away, and left not enough to serve the earl's table.'
A sorry few would be left to serve the Lord, and preserve the name of Christ upon earth, if some men's judgments could be final. Blessed be God, the Judge of saints is not the rabbi of any of the rival synagogues.
