Seasonable truths in evil-times in several sermons / lately preached in and about London

16. If you would not depart from God through unbelief, then look to your Judgement in reference to your Conversation, and look to your Conversation in reference to your Judgment: Look to your Life in reference to your Opinion, look to your Opinion in reference to your Life. Faith and a good Opinion, doth preserve a good Life, and a good Life doth preserve Faith and a good Opinion: Faith lies in the bosom of a good Conversation; Faith is best preserved by a good Conversation, and a good Conversation is best preserved by Faith: Sometime men do depart from God, and their departure begins above in the Judgment, and like Rheum it falls down upon the Lungs, it falls down upon the Conversation; Sometimes the departing begins below in the Conversation, and steams up into the Judgement: as some things that are unsavoury in the stomach, they steam up into the head. Sometimes the departure from God begins above, and works downward into the Conversation; Sometimes it begins below in the Conversation, and works upwards into the Judgement: Therefore look to your Judgements in reference to your Conversation, and look to your Conversation in reference to your Judgment: Look to your Faith ⟨p. 232⟩in reference to your Life, and look to your Life, in reference to your Faith.
