David after his fall brought to see his original corruption, craved more1 earnestly for the spirit to be renewed in him. The children of God then fall, but the Lord revealeth it and they rise again: but the hypocrites and wicked continue still, and go2 from evil to worse, because salvation is given to none but to those that love it.3

The fourth note is, that we love righteous men, and righteous things, as well in others as in our selves. Righteous men, that is, either such as are afore us, our equals, or inferiors. We must love them that are afore us, that we may follow them, and be like unto them, and not to please our selves in our selves, and therefore must we be desirous to keep their company, whether they be preachers or professors: for those that love learning, will delight in the company of those that are learned: and if we love good men because they are so, it is a good sign we do much more love God who is goodness itself; as if the father love the schoolmaster for the sons sake, it is a sign he loveth his son much more.
