There is no such thundering Preacher in the world, as conscience is. The Thundering of Mount Sinai, is not like the thundering of our conscience.
Fourthly and lastly, Let it be for Exhortation, and ⟨p. 15⟩encouragement, for Christ here makes it an encouragement, so let this be an encouragement to keep our garments undefiled, the remembrance that we shall walk with him in white, in the white of peace, and joy in this world, who would not walk in this white? who would not be among those who keep their garments white in the midst of a defiled, and defiling world?
Fourthly and lastly, Let it be for Exhortation, and ⟨p. 15⟩incouragement, for Christ here makes it an incouragement, so let this be an incouragement to keep our garments undefiled, the remembrance that we shall walk with him in white, in the white of peace, and joy in this world, who would not walk in this white? who would not be among those who keep their garments white in the midst of a defiled, and defiling world?
Let me give you but a threefold Consideration, to stir you up to an exceeding Exactness and Carefulness, not to defile your garments, seeing there is such a Reward promised, such a Habit of White promised, as this White, wherein we shall walk with Jesus Christ.

Matthew 28. verse 3. the Angel that came down to the Sepulchre of Christ, his Raiment was white •s the Light. The Martyrs when they had Angelical Apparitions, they always appeared to them in white; as one upon the Rack thought he felt an Angel supplying him, while his enemies tormented him.
