1. In general, Let men see that you live up to the Faith you profess, that your Practice is agreeable to your Principles, and then they cannot deny the reality of your Faith when it is so powerful, nor the reasonableness of your Practice, when it is so answerable to it. You profess before men to believe there is a God, let them see that you walk as before him, desire to approve your selves to him, dare not sin against him: you believe a Christ, let your Conversations be an imitation of him, Walk as he walked^u. You believe a future Judgment, live as becomes those that would be able to stand in it, and give an account of your selves to the Judge. Let your carriage be such as not only your own Consciences, but your Adversaries when they quarrel with you, tell you it ought to be; that is, such as best suits your Faith, and Hope, even in their judgment as well as your own. What is it makes the profane World question the reality of Godliness in Gods people, but because they think they do not live and act as they should do that believe such weighty Truths, and expect such great things as they profess they do? If therefore your Conversation be correspondent to your Faith, you take away the great Cause of their cavilling with you, and slandering your Profession.
