•. Gods Holiness must make us Holy: we must fall in Love with it, and wholly conform our selves unto it. Every part of Sanctifying grace must be entertained, and cherished, and excited, and used by us. Sin must be loathsome to us because it is contrary to the Holiness of God. No Toad or Snake should seem to us so ugly. A dead carcass is an unpleasant sight, because it showeth us a privation of natural life: But an unholy soul is incomparably a more loathsome ghastly sight, because it showeth us the privation of the life of Holiness. No man can well know the odiousness of sin, and the misery and loathsomeness of the unholy soul, that knoweth not the Holiness of God. [Speak unto all the Congregation of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be Holy: for I the Lord your God am Holy] Lev. 19. 2. [Sanctify your selves therefore and be ye Holy, for I am the Lord your God] Lev. 20. 7, 8. [As be that hath called us is Holy, so must we be holy in all manner of Conversation, 1 Pet. 1. 25.

We are made [an Holy Priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifice, acceptable to God, by Jesus Christ] 1 Pet. 2. 5. Rom. 12. 1, 2. We must therefore present our bodies a living sacrifice, Holy, acceptable to God, our reasonable service] ⟨p. 137⟩For we are [chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be Holy, and without blame] Ephes. 1. 4. and are Redeemed and Sanctified by Christ, that we may be presented Glorious, Holy, and without blemish] Ephes. 5. 26, 27. See therefore that you follow Holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord. Heb. 12. 14. For Blessed are the Pure in heart, for they shall see him, Mat. 5. 8.
