A commentary or, exposition upon the divine second epistle general, writtenA commentary or, exposition vpon the diuine second epistle generall, written

so he says to every one, If I lead thee not, thou shalt never come to my kingdom. The Painter went to one Virgin for an eye, to another for a lip, to a third for a forehead, to a fourth for a chin; to make exquisite the face of his goddess. We need not go to one Saint for this virtue, to ⟨p. 435⟩another for that: for perfection take CHRIST, and take all. In him dwells the fullness of God-head: there can be no want where all is infinite. Let the Many follow their own fancies, or the fancies of others, let us follow CHRIST. This is the praise of those Virgin-Saints; that they followed the Lamb whithersoever he goeth, Rev. 14.4. The inseparable effect of Justification is obedience: now we follow him in following his, relieving them whether in want or prison, sickness or persecution. And this he will acknowledge at the last day, with a Come ye blessed. Come to me, for you have followed me wheresoever I went. I was hungry, and you followed me with meat: thirsty, and you followed me with drink: a stranger, and you followed me with lodging: naked, cold, and sick, and you followed me with clothes, warmth, and comfort. Whithersoever I went, I had your company; now you shall have my company for ever. Matth. 18.28. You followed me in the regeneration; you shall be with me in eternal glorification.

so he saies to every one, If I lead thee not, thou shalt never come to my kingdome. The Painter went to one Virgin for an eye, to another for a lip, to a third for a forehead, to a fourth for a chinne; to make exquisite the face of his goddesse. We need not goe to one Saint for this vertue, to ⟨p. 435⟩another for that: for perfection take CHRIST, and take all. In him dwells the fulnesse of God-head: there can be no want where all is infinite. Let the Many follow their owne fancies, or the fancies of others, let us follow CHRIST. This is the praise of those Virgin-Saints; that they followed the Lambe whithersoever he goeth, Rev. 14.4. The inseparable effect of Iustification is obedience: now we follow him in following his, relieving them whether in want or prison, sicknesse or persecution. And this he will acknowledge at the last day, with a Come yee blessed. Come to me, for you have followed me wheresoever I went. I was hungry, and you followed me with meate: thirsty, and you followed me with drinke: a stranger, and you followed me with lodging: naked, cold, and sicke, and you followed me with clothes, warmth, and comfort.
