Keepe that which is good.
When you have tried, and found out the truth, be constant and settled in it. A wavering minded man is unstable in all his ways. Follow ⟨p. 214⟩the truth, and be not carried about with every wind of doctrine. The devil will come in the name of God, and change himself into an Angel of light. Let him not take the love of the trueth from you: let him not remove you from faith and a good conscience: return not like swine unto your mire. God hath purged your hearts, and made them clean. Except they be preserved and kept occupied, the unclean spirit will return, and enter in, and dwell in you: so the last state of you shall be worse than the first.
