To draw to a conclusion of this Argument, let us know, that if the heart be right, it is willing to be cast into the mould of the Word, to receive whatsoever print the Word will put upon it, to be in whatsoever form the Word will have it: as Metals that are cast into a mould, they receive the print of the mould, print for print in every part; and this is the heart that doth indeed follow God fully. This is S. Pauls expression, Rom. 6. 17. You have obeyed from the heart, that form of doctrine unto which you were delivered; so the words are in the Original: The 1form of doctrine is compared to the Mould, & the sincere obeyers from the heart, are compared to the Metal delivered into this Mould, which takes impression from it, in one part as well as in another. No sincere obedience from the heart, no true following of God fully without this. ⟨p. 276⟩I have been the larger in this particular, because the mistake is so general and dangerous.
