Naaman is not only commanded to wash himself in Jordan, but to wash himself seven times, and then he shall be healed: So man is not only commanded to obey God, but to obey him while he lives, ⟨p. 945⟩and then he shall be saved. Be faithful (saith the Angel) unto death, and then I will give thee the Crown of life. Revel. 2, 10.

When Saul was commanded to kill the Idolatrous beasts, he was commanded to kill all: and because he spared some, God rejected him. Yet God hath more mercy on beasts, than on sins. Would he have the beasts of sinners die, & their vices live? No (saith Christ) Make clean within: that is, leave no filth behind. Whensoever Christ cast out one devil, we read that he cast out all, even the legion together: so when thou castest out one vice, cast out all, for one is not worthier than another.
