We walk in white, in hope we have of that Inheritance: now lay these three things together, If they who keep their garments undefiled, have the testimony of their own consciences, and the testimony of the Spirit, shedding the Love of God in their hearts, and a well-grounded hope of future glory, how can it be but these must walk in white with Jesus Christ? that is, in comfort and joy of the Spirit, and of their own spirits.
