Be zealous therefore and repent. In the former Verse he propounded a remedy against their▪ Spiritual pride▪ In […] ⟨p. 212⟩words he doth directly propound a remedy against their Luke-warmness. But first observe the coherence of these words with the former.

Here see the proper •nd of all reproofs and corrections: namely, the reformation and amendment of mens faults & misdemeanours whatsoever, that so they may be more careful of their ways▪ and more zealous in good duties then ever they were.
