CHAP. XX. An Heavenly Conversation is very safe.
And then, A Conversation in Heaven, is a very safe Conversation, you will be free from snares and temptations. As an Earthly Conversation subjects unto temptations; so a Heavenly Conversation will free us from temptations. When is the bird in danger of the Lime-twig or Net but when she comes to pick below upon the ground? but if she could but keep her self above always, she were free then from the Snare and Net: It's Chrysostoms similitude, Keep above, and then ye be free from the snare of the fowler. It's a safe Conversation.
