First, In your Judgements, being fully resolved and settled in your ⟨image 124⟩Judgements concerning them, not wavering about them, nor suffering our selves by any means and ways, to be removed from our steadfastness in them. Says the Apostle, 2 Pet. 3.17. Seeing you know these things, beware, lest you also being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness. Take heed you be not removed in your Judgements; hold fast what you have received, and suffer not every Wind to blow you off from them.

Secondly, We must hold fast the Truths we have heard and received in our Wills and Affections, in our love to the Truth; we must receive the Truth in the love of it, or else we should never keep the Truth. Love is the strongest hold-fast in the Word, no man will part with that which he loves: What makes the covetous man so unwilling to part with his Money, but because he loves it? What makes the lustful sinner so unwilling to part with his Lust, he will part with Heaven, rather than his Lust? Why, It is because he doth so love it. If men did love the Truth, they would hold it fast.
