The pattern of wholesome words. Or a collection of such truths as are of necessity to be believed unto salvation separated out of the body of all theology made evident by infallible plain proofs of Scripture. And withal, the several uses such principles should be put to, are abundantly showed. A project much desired, and of singular use for all sorts of Christians. By N. Bifeild [sic], preacher of Gods word at Isleworth in Middlesex.The paterne of wholsome words.

6. Not to be the servants of men; that is, to be bound to no mans example, will, lusts, humours, likings, but to be free unto the service of Jesus Christ only, who hath paid for us so dear a price, 1. Cor. 7.23. Ye are bought with a price: be not the servants of men.

7. To suffer any thing for his sake, that hath suffered so great things for us: so as we could be willing to forsake father and mother, brother and sister, house and land, and all for his sake, and for the Gospel.

8. To celebrate the memory of his death and passion with all reverence, honour, and hearty affection: this is that we should do in the receiving of the sacrament, which doth crucify Christ before our eyes, and show us how he was ⟨p. 267⟩taken, broken, given, & slain for our sakes, shall we not do this in remembrance of him? shall we not eat the sweet flesh of this immaculate lamb, with the sower herbs of contrition, and grief for our sins and unworthiness? shall we not at this feast put away all leaven out of our dwellings? God forbid, we should dare to eat of this bread, or drink of this cup unworthily, and so make our selves guilty of the body and blood of Christ: rather let us all examine our selves, and so let us eat in remembrance of him, judging our selves, that we be not condemned of the Lord. Thus of the first sort of duties.
