God requireth true and unfeigned holiness. Wash you, saith the Prophet Isaiah, make you 1clean, take away the evil of your works, from before mine eyes, cease to do ill. This is the commandment of God, that so we should be partakers of his heavenly nature. As he which hath called you is holy, so be ye 2holy in all manner of conversation, saith Saint Peter.

Abstain from fornication. Nothing so much hindereth true holiness as fornication, uncleanness, wantonness, and such like. Every sin that a man doth, is without the body, but he that committeth fornication, sinneth against his own body. God is the avenger of such. He will judge the adulterers, and fornicators. Be not deceived: Neither fornicators, nor adulterers, nor wantons, nor buggerers, shall inherit the kingdom of heaven.
