But you will say,1 how shall we apply, and make use of this rule in particular actions; the Word is but short, but actions are infinite; the Word of God directs me not to this, or that action; and •aith, you shall do this, or that in particular; but gives general rules: how shall we come to carry our selves in particular actions? here is the skill: for a rule is not to hang up, a measure is not to be cast aside; but to be applied; a rule is a thing in relation to a thing ruled, and a measure to things measured; and if we do not apply it, we lose the use of it. How shall we know how to serve the Will of God in every particular action?
