Phil. After that ye have conceived in your hearts this faith,¹ fear & love toward God through the operation of the holy Ghost, so that ye have entered the path way of our LORD god, now doth convenient time require, that ye walk not only secretly but also openly before God, tha• is, that ye do not only inwardly in ⟨image 45⟩your hearts believe in God, fear& love god, but also that ye outwardly show forth this your faith, fear & love buried within you by external works,² that men seeing your godly conversation, may then glorify your father, which is in heaven For this is to walk before god,³ even to believe in god, to fear god, to love God, and to lead an innocent life according to his holy word. Without this innocency & purity of life,⁴ I see not what all faith, fear or love profit. Follow your LORD God, saith Moses, fear him & keep his commandments, & hear his voice,⁵ ye shall serve him and cleave unto him. The Prophet Micah also saith, I will show thee, O man, what is good, & what the LORD requireth, of thee, even to do judgement and to love mercy, & studiously to walk with thy God. Here see you, that if ye will walk before God, ye must do good ⟨image 46⟩deeds, lead a pure & innocent life, study to accomplish Gods will, & in all points labour to fashion your manners after the rule of God's word. Farewell they that boast so much of faith,⁶ & yet are wicked in all their works. They profess to know god, as the Apostle saith but with their deeds they deny him, seeing they are abominable, disobedient and unapt to all good works.⁷
