If detraction met with no admirers, the kingdom of Jesus would soon be freed from this scandal.
2. But unfortunately the vice of de- traction is a pleasing vice ; and con- tributing as it does to enliven conver- sation, it cannot fail of being ap- plauded : the man who is agreeable in company is always admired and court- ed. This is the taste of the world : and it is not surprising, when we re- flect that Christian charity is a virtue with which the world is totally unac- quainted. But that the... same love of detraction should be found in the as- sembly of the faithful, that piety it- self should be brought in to sanction it, is almost beyond the powers of conception. Yet, incredible as it is, it is a fact, that many who pretend to a virtuous life are equally guilty of this after Pentecost. 345 scandalous behaviour, and justify them- selves by the plea of piety : they sup- pose that they are actuated by zeal, that they shew forth their hatred of sin by condemning sinners, and that they give honour and glory to God by dishonouring and defaming those who offend him ; as if piety, the essence and soul of which is charity, possessed the privilege of exempting its follow- ers from the practice of that most in- dispensable virtue.
