Answ. 6 Whatever Truth you know, do not only know it in a Spiritual way, but put the same into practice; for he that know. Truth carnally, is not far from error; and the way to be established in the ⟨p. 445⟩Truth, is to walk therein; As ye have therefore received Christ (saith the Apostle) so walk in him, rooted and built up in him, and established in the Faith, 2 Col. 6.7.
Answ. 7 Then go to God for his Establishing Grace, and put your Judgments into the hand of Christ, to keep them for you: even as you would put your Children, or Family into Gods hand, to keep them for you, when you are absent from them; so put your Judgment into Gods hand, to keep it for you also: For it is God alone who doth settle us, even the God of all Grace; and he hath said, Prov. 16.3. Commit thy Works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established: It is he that hangeth weights on the wings of the wind, who hath founded the Earth on nothing; and therefore though your thoughts be as •leeting and uncertain as the wind; yet he can hang weights upon them, he can make you solid, staid, sober, who do now stagger to and fro like a Drunken man. And if you put your Judgment into Christs hand, he will keep it for you; for faithful is he who hath called you, who will also establish your hearts in the Truth received.
