You will say, What Conversation is that which is meet for, or becoming the Gospel?
To that I answer, First, a Conversation raised to a higher degree than the light of Nature, or than the Law can raise one to, it must be that certainly, it is not a Conversation becoming the Gospel, except it be a Conversation raised higher than the light of Nature, or than the Law can raise one to, it becomes not the Gospel else.
Secondly, A Conversation suitable and answerable to those many blessed and glorious truths that are revealed in the Gospel, ⟨p. 6⟩there is much of the mind of God revealed in the Gospel, glorious truths are there presented to us, that is a Conversation becoming the Gospel that is suitable and answerable unto these blessed and glorious truths that are revealed in the Gospel.
