THE Whole Armour of GOD. › Treatise 2 › Part 3 › Section 2: §. 5. What kind of Truth is here meant.
Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
§. 5. What kind of Truth is here meant.
Some apply the Truth here mentioned, to doctrine and religion, as if only the soundness of it were meant: others restrain it to the uprightness and sincerity of our hearts and affections: others understand it of the truth of our words and speeches: and others expound it of the purity and innocency of our practise and carriage.
SOme apply the Truth here mentioned, to doctrine and religion, as if only the soundnes of it were meant: others restraine it to the vprightnesse and sincerity of our hearts and affections: others vnderstand it of the truth of our words and speeches: and others expound it of the purity and innocency of our practise and carriage.
But whosoever exclude any of these forenamed branches of truth, come (as I take it) short of the Apostles meaning; all of them must concur to make up the⟨p. 123⟩ strength and beauty of this Girdle. For truth is a general property,1 which as salt seasoneth every thing, and maketh it savoury to God and man: the whole lump must be leavened with it, I mean the whole man throughout, his opinion, his affection, his communication, his conversation.
