'Tis reasonable that we all begin to be, that which we expect to be for ever. To learn that way of living and conversing which we believe must be our everlasting life and business in the World to come. Let them that hope to live with Angels in Heaven, learn to live like Angels on Earth, in Holiness, Activity, and ready obedience.
