Rule II.
Labour after an inward experimental taste of all those Truths which you profess.
This will preserve your minds from wavering and hesitation about the certainty and reality of them. We will not easily part with those Truths, which have sensibly shed down their sweet influences upon our hearts, Heb. 10. 34. No Sophister can easily persuade a man that hath ta•ted the sweetness of Honey, that it is a bitter and unpleasant thing: Non est disputandum de gustu: you cannot easily persuade a man out of his Senses.
