BE YE not made like to your fathers. and I have said,¹ These ever err in hart.² Be ye not as your fathers were. We must not consider our parents, nor kindred, nor long custom, but only the will of god: the will of god is to believe. This is the will of god,³ that ye believe in him, whom he hath sent.
