The Lord give you to search after the truth in love, with a humble, unbiased, submissive soul; neither losing it through negligence and undervaluing, nor yet diverted from it by inferior controversies, nor perverted by self-confidence, nor forestalled by prejudice, nor blinded by passion, nor lost in contentions, nor subverted by the now-ruling spirit of giddiness and levity, nor yet obscured by the ⟨p. 320⟩confounding of things that differ; that so by the conduct of the Word and Spirit, you may attain the sight of amiable naked truth, and your understanding may be enlightened, and your soul beautified by the reflection and participation of her light and beauty, that your heart being ravished with the sense of her goodness, and awed by her Authority, you may live here in the constant embracements of her, and cordial obedience to her, till you are taken up to the prime eternal Truth and Goodness.
