You have an Unction from the Holy One, and this engages you to look to it, that you keep your selves from Idols; And then we know (saith he) that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true; and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. And thereupon he brings in this, Little children, keep your selves from Idols: as if he should say, This is the true God, God in Christ, Jesus ⟨p. 135⟩Christ the Son of the Father, this is the true God, and he hath eternal life with him; other Gods are false gods, and what benefit will you have by following them, and performing worship to them? Nothing but eternal death; false gods can bestow no eternal life upon you; but this is the true God, and he can give you eternal life; And therefore, Little children, keep your selves from Idols.

And now yet one word more. I would not occasion any discomposure of spirit that is not becoming you; But this I must say, for ought I know, You have the words of a Dying man; and we use to say, that the words of Dying men they are […] to take somewhat a deep impression; I mean, a Dying man, not in properness of speech according to nature; and yet, if it should be so, I hope there would be cause of rejoicing on my part; But I speak the words of a Dying man in respect of Ministerial Office.
