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.

11. To dwell securely, as acknowledging we have secure protection in his service, and not to be afraid of any fear, Jer. 23. 5.6. Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgement and justice in the earth.
11. To dwell securely, as acknowledging wee haue secure protection in his seruice, and not to be afraid of any feare, Ier. 23. 5.6. Behold, the daies come, saith the Lord, that I will raise vnto Dauid a righteous branch, and a King shall raigne and prosper, and shall execute iudgement and iustice in the earth.
In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely, and this is the name whereby they shall call him; The Lord our righteousness, &c.
In his daies Iuda shall be saued, and Israel shall dwell safely, and this is the name whereby they shall call him; The Lord our righteousnes, &c.
12. To carry our selves, as the servants of the King. His subjects should differ in their manners from all other nations; and his servants should order themselves so, as may become his honour. And thus we should always resist to our power the kingdom of darkness, and set our selves to overcome the world, and as conquerors ⟨p. 338⟩to deny our selves in the affection to the profits, and pleasures, &c. of the world: and live out of the fear of the disgrace of the world, knowing it is honour enough to be such a Kings servants; and out of fear even of death it self, as knowing our deliverance by the victory, which our Saviour had over death; and the assurance that he will come again, and make our vile bodies like to his glorious body.
