A few words more, and so I shall conclude.

And first, take heed that you content not your self with a bare notion of the Scriptures in your heads, by which you may go far, even so far, as to be able to dispute for the truth, to Preach the Gospel, and labour to vindicate it in opposition to gain-sayers, and yet be found at the left hand of Christ at the Judgment-day, forasmuch as thou didst content thy self with a notion or a traditional knowledge of them.

2. Have a care, that thou own the whole Scripture, and not own one part, and neglect another, ⟨p. 196⟩or slight it, is th••: To own the Law, and slight the Gospel; or to think that thou must be saved by thy good doing and works, for that is all one, as if thou diddest thrust Christ away from thee, or else so to own the Gospel, as if by it thou wert exempted from all obedience to the ten Commandments, and conformity to the Law in life and conversation; for in so doing, thou wilt for certain make sure of eternal vengeance.
