And the last thing I have to charge upon you, upon the account of your Gospel-believing, and being brought over to a closing with Christ, it is this, (and so, upon the matter, I have given you an account of the substance of this precious Chapter, having reduced it to that general Doctrine I propounded before:) I say, the last thing is this, That you would walk suitable to a Believing state, by being very careful concerning your Worships that you do perform, that they be according to God, and according to the Gospel; and this is that which the Apostle closes the Chapter withal, in the 21 Verse, Little Children, keep your selves from Idols, Amen. As I take it, in the former Translation, it was Babes, Babes, keep your selves from Idols; Here it is, Little Children.
