Lidia. Giue me a preseruatiue that I may resist.
Paul. Your best preservative is, in temptation, not to behold faith, but the object of ⟨p. 158⟩faith, which is Christ. So did Paul, Philip. 3. 12. Not as though I had already attained unto it, either were already perfect: but I follow, that I may comprehend that, for whose sak• also I am comprehended of Christ Jesus. 13. One thing I do, I forget that which is behind, and endeavour my self to that which is before. 14. And follow hard toward the mark, for the price of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. So must all. Joh. 3. 14. And as Moses lift up the Serpent in the wilderness; so must the son of man be lift up, that he that believeth in him should not perish, but have life everlasting.
