2. Grow up in the Church of God, and under his Officers, and Ordinances, and among his people: Do not transplant your selves from the garden and Vineyard of the Lord, if you will thrive: no prospering in the Commons where weeds will choke, &c. Keep within the Church of God, in the communion ⟨p. 174⟩of his People, among his Servants, under the guidance of his Ministers, for that is the duty of Ministers to bring up, train up, and help the weak ones, till they grow to be strong: they are to be God's Nurses, and helpers of the weak in the House of God: Do not think to prosper by breaking over the hedge, under pretence of any right of holiness whatsoever, following any party that would draw you to Separation.

3. Make it, amongst others, the principal study of your lives, to study the love of God in the Redeemer, the nature of the new Covenant, and the infinite goodness revealed in the face of a Mediator: how it was his design to attract the hearts of men to the love of God, by revealing his infinite love in the Redeemer; unto what end Christ came for, even to represent God's goodness in sinners hearts, of their being reconciled to him, and ravishing them with his love. Study the glory and ravishing love of God, and unspeakable goodness in a Redeemer.
