Fifthly, We must do all this constantly, hold fast the Truth in our Judgement and Affection, Profession and Conversation, constantly and at all times; as David, I have inclined my heart to perform thy statutes always, even unto the end; We must not only in times of calmness and serenity, when we may have all the peace and applause of the world, hold fast the Truth and Profession of it; but it stormy times when Truth may burn a mans fingers if he hold it, yet even then we must hold it fast.
Sixthly, We must hold fast the Truths we have received resolutely, against all oppositions whatsoever, whether of friends or foes. Paul would not bate an inch, no not to Peter his Brother, his elder Brother in Christ, and in the work of the Gospel; he resisted him to the face, and gave no place to him, no, not for an hour.
Thus should we hold fast the Truth that we have heard and received in ⟨image 125⟩our Judgment, in our Wills and Affections, in our Profession, and in our Lives and Conversations. And thus hold them fast constantly, and resolutely against all opposition, on the right hand, and on the left, both of Friends and Foes; and that for these Reasons, which is the first thing I have to do; which is to show you, Why we should hold fast the Truth of God.
