4. The Author of this Covenant doth expressly command holiness; Be ye holy, 1for I am holy, 1 Pet. 1. 16. Speak unto all the Congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, ye shall be holy; for I the Lord your God am holy, Lev. 19. 2. Whatsoever things are pious, whatsoever things are lovely, &c. think on these things, Phil. 4. 8. This is the will of God, even your sanctification, 1 Thes. 4. 3.
