We should speak clear truth. Truth without mixture, truth well winnowed, doctrine well refined.

The commandment of the Lord is a pure word, (Psal: 19.8.) There's not any dross at all in it, 'tis like silver tried seven times in the fire (Psal: 12.6.) The Prophet among other blessings which God promiseth to his Church and people, hath this (Isa: 30.24.) The Oxen likewise and the young Asses that ear the ground shall eat clean Provender, free from the straw, and chaff, dust and darnel. But may we not here renew the Apostles question, (1 Cor: 9.9, 10.) Doth God take care for oxen? or saith he it altogether for our sakes? for our sakes no doubt it is written; That the mouth of the ox treading out the corn, should not be muzzled, was written for the Ministers sake, to assure them, that while they labour in the Gospel to feed souls, their bodies should be fed. And that the oxen and young asses shall eat clean provender, was written for the peoples sake, to assure them, that Christ would send them such Ministers as should feed them with pure holy wholesome doctrine, not with the chaff of unwritten traditions, nor with the mixtures of humane i••entions. They should be taught clear knowledge, as Elihu here speaketh. This mercy was also prophesied (Zeph: 3.9.) Then will I turn to the people a pure language, or a Clean lip: it is this word, that is, ⟨p. 159⟩what they speak, shall be pure truth. Their language shall be, not only Grammatically pure, proper and genuine, but Theologically pure, without any tincture of error in it.
