Use 3 May teach men not to content themselves in any Ignorance, or Uncleanness, or Wicked course, you cannot walk in Darkness and have Fellowship with God, therefore as you would claim Fellowship with God, disclaim Fellowship with sin, you cannot continue and grow up in any sin voluntarily, but you disclaim Fellowship with God, yea and with the blood of Christ, no Fellowship with Christ as long as you have any Fellowship with sin.

Use 4 To teach Christians, that it is not enough to be holy and true, but God requires you should walk in Light and holiness, Ephes. 5 8. Gal. 5.25. if you would be men of Knowledge and Piety, it is needful that you walk in that course, it is not enough to set an instrument in tune, but it must sound forth, it is not enough to have our hearts in a good frame, but we must walk in that frame, Psal. 119. Thy Word is a light unto my feet, and a Lantern to my paths; Gods Word was a light to his feet; what, to look on? No, but to be a guide to his steps; we should order our steps according to his Word; the Church is compared to a Garden, Cant. 4.14. full of spices and flowers; is she content that she hath these? No, but verse 16. awake O North-wind, and blow upon my Garden, that my spices may flow forth, and yield a fragrant smell; a Christian must not only have gifts and Graces, but walk accordingly, a Christian that hath good parts and gifts, if he doth not walk according thereunto, what good doth he? It is a gouty foot that dares not walk, so he is a distempered Christian, that hath the feet of a Christian, and yet walks not, he is only the image of a Christian, an image hath the exact parts of a man, but makes no use of them, it hath eyes and sees not, ears and hears not, feet and walks not,
