Leg. 24. Always make the Scripture, (and not your selves, nor your carnal reason, nor your bare opinion) the Judges of your spiritual state and condition. I cannot see my condition to be good. I cannot perceive it. What? must your sense, and your carnal reason be the Judge of your spiritual state? Isa. 8.20. To the Law, and to the Testimony, if they speak not according to his rule, it is because there is no light, no morning in them. John 12.24. The word that I have spoken, the same shall ⟨image 136⟩judge you at the last day: The Scripture is that which must determine the case in the great Day: whether you have grace or no, or whether it be true or no.
Leg. 25. Make much conscience of making good the terms on which you closed with Christ: You know the terms, How that you would deny your selves, take up his Cross, and follow the Lamb wheresoever he should go: Now you are put to take up the Cross, to deny your selves, to follow the La•• over Hedge and Ditch, through thick and thin, do not turn your backs on Christ: the worst of Christ is better than the best of the world: make conscience of making good your terms, to deny your self, your natural self, your sinful self, your religious self; and to follow him: and if you do so, oh! what an honour will it be to Christ, and advantage to your selves, and a joy to the upright!
Leg. 26. Walk by no rule but such as you dare die by, and stand by in the great day of Jesus Christ. You may have many ways prescribed to worship by: but walk by none but such as you dare die by, and stand by, before Christ Jesus: walk not by a multitude, for who dare stand by that rule, when he comes to die?
