Thus we do withhold the trueth of God in unrighteousness: thus the grace of God is abused to the contenting of our pleasures: thus we become the vessels of Gods wrath, and heap up vengeance upon our heads. Therefore will God take away his holy spirit from us, therefore will ⟨image 108⟩God give us over to a reprobate mind, therefore shall the end of us be worse then was the beginning.

O good brethren, let us not abuse the mercy of god, let us not receive the grace of god in vain. Remember how many eyes are set upon us, let us take occasion away from them that seek occasion to slander our profession: let not, let not our life cause the gospel of Jesus Christ to be ill spoken of and blasphemed: let us walk so as becometh them that are called, and in deede are Filii lucis, The children of light.
