Therefore, my dearly beloved, ⟨p. 78⟩I beseech you to consider this, and deceive not your selves. If you be not Christs, then pertain you to the devil: of which things the fruits of the flesh doth assure you, as whoredom, adultery, uncleanness, wantonness, Idolatry, witchcraft, envy, strife, contention, wrath, sedition, murder, drunkenness, gluttony, blasphemy, slothfulness, idleness, vain talking, slandering, &c. If such like fruit as these grow out of the trees of your hearts; surely, surely, the Devil is at Inn with you, you are his birds: whom when he hath well fed, he will broach you, and eat you, chaw you and champ you, world without end, in eternal woe and misery. But I am otherwise persuaded of you all. I trust you be all CHRIST JESUS his people, and his children; yea, and his brethren by faith.

As ye see your sins in Gods Law, and tremble, and sigh, sorrow and sob for the same: even so you see his great mercies in his Gospel and free promises, & therefore are glad, merry and ⟨p. 79⟩joyful, for that you are accepted into Gods favour, have your sins pardoned, and are endued with the good spirit of God, even the Seal and sign, MANUEL of your election in Christ Jesus, even before the beginning of the World.
