Fourthly, They that hold not fast the Truth of God, are injurious to their posterity. Our fore-fathers holding fast the truth of God in the day of their trial; and sealing it with their blood, was the means of transmitting the purity of the Gospel to us their Posterity; and if we, in our Generation hold not fast the truth of God, but carry it loose in our Consciences and Judgements, and we let it fall out of our hands and hearts, we forfeit the Truths of God, not only from our selves, but also from our Posterity. Thus you see, we shall wrong the God of Truth, and the Truth of God; we shall wrong our selves and our Posterity, if we hold not fast the Truth we have received. Thus we have the reasons of the Doctrine.
