But we know and are sure, that it is a ground- less imputation ; for Wisdom's ways are ** ways . of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace." 118 THE PLEASANTNESS OF II. It is easy also to set aside the misrepre- sentations of religion, which are made by some that call themselves its friends, and profess kindness for it. As there are enemies of the Lord that blaspheme, so there are among the people of the Lord those that give them great occasion to do so^ as David did. How many wounds does re...ligion receive in the house of her friends ; false friends they are, or foolish ones, unworthy to be called Wisdom's children, for they do not justify her as they ought ; but through mistake and indulgence of their own weakness, betray her cause, instead of pleading it- and witnessing to it ; and confirm people's prejudices against it, which they should en- deavor to remove. Some that profess religion are morose and sour in their profession, peevish and ill-hu- mored, and make the exercises of religion a burden and task, and a terror to themselves and all about them; while it ought to sweeten the spirit, and make it easy, and candid, and com- passionate to the infirmities of the weak and feeble of the flock.
