Suppose even this man
Suppose then a man has no intercourse with us, suppose he is not of our party, suppose he separates from our church, yes, and widely differs from us both in judgment, practice, and affection: yet if we see even this man casting out devils, Jesus says, Do not forbid him (Mark 9:39). This important direction of our Lord, I am in the third place to explain.
