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.

Thirdly, we should hence for ever be warned to look to our selves, and make conscience even ⟨p. 89⟩of lesser sins: we see here what the eating of an apple did, which the most men would fain think was but a small matter; and the rather, because monstrous sins may be committed about a small offence in it self. Think of the man that gathered sticks on the Sabbath day, and of the case of Ananias and Sapphira.
