Thirdly, they serve to make us answerable to our holy calling: for every1 one that professeth the Gospel, is called to be a member of Christ, and a new creature, whose duty is to bring forth good works, Eph. 4. 1, 2. Walk worthy of the vocation whereunto you are called, with all humbleness of mind, meekness, &c. and Ephes. 2. 10. Ye are the workmanship of God, created in Christ Jesus, unto good works, which God hath ordained that we should walk in them.

Pet. 2. 9.
