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.

2. We should often look upon Christ, that hath borne all the malediction of the law for us, and that both to move us to compassion, and mourning for our sins, that so pierced him, Zach. 12.10. And also to settle our selves against the fear of any of these miseries, seeing Christ hath fully paid our debts, and suffered the uttermost in our rooms: and further, if we did often set before us that marvellous passion of our Lord and Saviour, it might ravish our hearts to a greater love towards him, ⟨p. 133⟩and desire to be with him to give him eternal thanks.

3. Have we escaped so much danger, which sin brought us into? Then let us for ever be warned, and go our ways, and sin no more. Let us watch over our selves, that we be not bewitched by the deceitfulness of sin. For here we may learn, that God can make sin extremely bitter unto us, but especially let us leave sin, even because God hath dealt so graciously with us.
