Be bold, be bold, ye servants of the Lord, in sounding forth the praises of your God. Go into presses of people: and in the middest of them praise the Lord. Wicked men are over-bold in belching forth their blasphemies to the dishonour of God: they care not who hear them. They stick not to do it in the middest of cities. Shall they be more audacious to dishonour God, then ye zealous to honour him? 1Assuredly Christ will show himself as forward to confess you, as you are, or can be to confess him. This holy boldness is the ready way to glory. To add an edge to this exhortation, well observe these few rules following.

11 Duly consider the difference betwixt God and man. It is dis-respect of God, and too much respect of man, that maketh many ashamed and afraid to declare before men that duty which they owe to God.
