Question

Summarize this question that Mr. By-ends poses to his friends:

Suppose a man, a minister, or a tradesman, etc., should have an advantage lie before him to get the good blessings of this life, yet so as that he can by no means come by them, except, in appearance at least, he becomes extraordinary zealous in some points of religion that he meddled not with before; may he not use this means to attain his end, and yet be a right honest man?

How do Mr. By-ends's friends answer the question? How does Christian answer the question? You may look back at the text, but be sure to summarize in your own words.

Answer 1

Mr. By-ends asks that is it wrong to be able to get earthly gain from religion and what we have on earth--is it a sin to be zealous. His friends say that this question is very good and there is nothing wrong with the question. However, Christian says not to take advantage of your walk with Christ and use what you gain to help others.
