Seventhly, As this work is not to be done feignedly; So it is not to be done sinfully, but in well-doing. Some say, The will of the Lord be done; and they say they do resign and give up themselves unto God: But if ye look into 1 Pet. 4.19. he will tell you, That this work is to be performed in well-doing. Let him commit his soul to ⟨p. 175⟩God in well-doing, as unto a faithful Creator. And thus ye see how this work is to be done rightly.

It is to be done Solemnly, and not slightly; Freely and firstly, not forcedly and lastly; Wholly and totally, and not partially and by halves; Absolutely, and not conditionally, upon Articles; Actively, and not in a way of submission only; With much plainness and sincerity; And in well-doing.
