Doct. 3. That continued repentance, is the Duty of Christians, as well as initial Repentance. Remember therefore how thou hast received, and heard, and hold fast, and repent.

:1005img 123

The first of these Doctrines, I applied my self to, and applied to the people last Lords-Day, and shall not now say any thing of it; but proceed to the next Doctrine, that it is the Duty of Christians, To hold fast the Truths that they have heard and received. That which the Apostle enjoins on Timothy, in proportion, the duty of all Christians, 2 Tim. 1.13. Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me in Faith, and Love, which is in Christ Jesus. The whole entire body of Divine Truth. Hold it fast against all opposition whatsoever. Now if they that are themselves Teachers of the Truth to others, must hold fast the Truth, according to the Plot-form that hath been delivered to them; then much more is it the duty of private Christians, who are supposed, not to have that latitude of Parts and Gifts that Teachers have: And therefore you shall find, that Christ requires this not only of the Pastors, but of the Members of his Church: Rev. 2.24. speaking not only to the Angels, but to the Body of the Church: But to you, I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this Doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan as they speak, I will put upon you none other burden, but that which you have already; bold fast till I come. As if he should say, This is all I require of you my people, keep your selves, and hold fast that which you have till I come. And so in Rev. 3.11.

As if he should say, That Divine Truth, that thou hast heard and received, it is thy Crown, thy excellency, therefore hold it fast. This duty of holding fast the Truth, it is thy Crown, thy excellency, therefore hold it fast. This Duty of holding fast the Truth, is urged in many other places of Scripture, under other expressions; as that of continuing in the Word of God. Christ says, If ye continue in my Word, then are ye my Disciples indeed. And continuing in the Faith,
