Rule 3.
Thirdly, those truths that God hath taught you, and those ways of worship God hath committed to you, love them as your lives, love them above your ⟨p. 378⟩lives, for no man will ever contend to hold them, if he do not love them; things of low price and esteem are presently let go; he that loves the Word above his life, will let life go rather then the Word: if you receive not the Word out of love, every Impostor and false Prophet, every fear and terror of men will rob you of it: Hide the word in thy heart, saith Solomon, love the truth dearly. It was a great speech of Calvin, Never did any one apostatize from the truths of Jesus Christ, but it was because he did not love the truth: And I add this, That never did any apostatize from the ways and truth of Jesus Christ, but it was because they did not receive them in love, or else they have lost their love, for there is a decay of affection, as well as having no affection: if you love them, what will you not suffer for them? (but more of that by and by.)
