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?
Make not the example of great men a rule to go by: for who dare die by, and stand by this, in the great day of account? Do not make any authority, that stands in opposition to the authority of Christ, a rule to walk by: for who dare stand by this, before Jesus Christ? Ah! Sirs, walk by no rule, but what you dare die by, and stand by, at the great Day.
