as first to learn to know God aright, both in his own attributes, and also in his affection to us ward, never quieting our selves till we know him to be our Father, our Redeemer, our Sanctifier: and this knowledge of him is life eternal. Secondly, to subject our selves, our lives, wills, affections, speeches, and actions, to all his laws: for to shake off the yoke of obedience to any part of his word is rebellion. Thirdly, to go out of our selves, as being nothing in our selves; and in our hearts depend upon the will and good pleasure of God, living by faith, making him our rock, our tower, our fortress, and strong defence in all estates, yea in life and in death our advantage. Fourthly, to worship him not only outwardly (as hypocrites may do) but to serve him in our spirits, giving him our whole hearts. Fifthly, to love all men, but especially Gods Saints, and the household of faith; affecting the particular congregations; and chiefly delighting in the Saints upon earth that excel in virtue. Thus walking with God, as Enoch did, we shall escape this most woeful sentence which shall be pronounced against the ungodly ones of the earth.
