Now that which was Pauls exhortation to the Philippians, shall be mine to all true Christians: Let your equity be known to all men. You have learned what it is, and how it is to be practised: it now remains, that we content not our selves, with the bare knowledge, but take notice of it, as of a doctrine belonging to us, and put it in practise all our dealings, public and private, yea and make it manifest to the consciences of all men▪ good and bad: so that every man, with whom we deal, may taste and feel of our equity, and be able to testify of us, that equity bears rule in all our actions: thus if we ⟨p. 67⟩do, we are Christians not in name, and profession only, but in deed and truth.
