Take hee• my son, and be not deceived: let […] wilfulness cast thee away. If sinners entire thee, be not a companion of them in wickedness. Fashion not thy self to the likene• of this world: for the world passeth away, and the lust thereof. He that loveth this world, the love of God is not in him. Be not like unto them that perish. Thou wast ⟨p. 66⟩conceived and borne in sin, thou art by nature the child of wrath. But God made thee meet to be partaker of the inheritance of the Saints in light, and hath delivered thee from the power of darkness, and hath translated thee into the kingdom of his dear son. Receive not this grace in vain. Cast a•aie the works of darkness and put on the armour of light. Be renewed in thy heart, and in thy spirit, that it may appear I have been careful for thee. Thus a good father seeketh to train up his son, and to nurture him.
Take hée• my sonne, and be not deceiued: let 〈…〉 wilfulnesse cast thée away. If sinners entire thée, be not a companion of them in wickednesse. Fashion not thy selfe to the likene• of this worlde: for the worlde passeth awaie, and the lust thereof. He that loueth this worlde, the loue of God is not in him. Be not like vnto them that perish. Thou wast ⟨p. 66⟩conceiued and borne in sinne, thou arte by nature the childe of wrath. But God made thée méete to be partaker of the inheritance of the Saints in light, and hath deliuered thée from the power of darkenesse, and hath translated thée into the kingdome of his deare son. Receiue not this grace in vaine. Cast a•aie the workes of darkenesse and put on the armor of light. Be renewed in thy heart, and in thy spirite, that it maie appeare I haue béene careful for thée. Thus a good father séeketh to traine vp his sonne, and to nurturs him.
