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.

First, For the excellency of Divine Truth; it is more precious than Gold, better than Rubies, and all that you can desire cannot be compared with Truth. And it must needs be so, because it is the immediate issue of God himself, who is the Fountain of Truth, and the Fountain of all Perfection and Glory. Natural men have said, Truth is the daughter of Time. Divines say, Truth is the daughter of God. Divine Truth is the child of God, the Issue and Birth of God. And whosoever therefore God hath pleased to deliver this Truth unto, they must be tenderly careful that it be not deflowered and violated.
