And especially I pray you labour to follow Noah in this one thing, to be good in your generations, in those things I mean wherein your present times take general liberty to be nought, that so you as ⟨p. 68⟩Noah may at once glorify God and condemn the world. What evil things all do commit those do you forbear, what good things all do neglect, those be you more careful to perform. Many things are grown into common fashion, swearing, pride in apparel, formality in religion, covetousness, monstrous fashions, misshapen long hair, O be ye in these things careful to avoid the corruption which is in the world. Many good things are grown quite out of all fashion almost, constant reading Gods Word, holy conference, keeping a treasure or purse for God in your houses, meditation of Gods Word, and careful sanctifying of the Lords day. O strive to perform these duties. He that is good alone according to the common strain is hollowly good, we must be pure of those faults which are allowed almost of all.
