3 Grace to be desired.
THE grace here to be desired, is sincerity of heart in doing Gods will, so as we may keep a good conscience before God and men. Act. 24. 16. And for this cause I endeavoured always to have a clear conscience towards God, and towards men. This must we hunger after, & pray for: seeing it is not sufficient to abstain from evil, but also to do good, and in doing good, strive to come to perfection.
