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. It is an Angelical Happiness, so much Heaven is come down upon the while you have this White. 'Tis Heaven before Heaven. 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.

Christ calls the Pharisees whited Sepulchres; they are whited, but whited sepulchres, that is a woeful condition to be whited like a sepulchre. Thus it is with those who defile themselves, they are whited walls, and whited sepulchres. They that keep themselves white, shall walk in white, shall have Angelical glory.
