SECT. VII.
Let every man not only exhort his brother,1 but fear this himself; You have a race to run, many enemies to conquer, sleep not lest you fall short, sleep not lest you be taken captive: lest in exhorting others, your selves proves Reprobates: I will not tell you what I fear, but Luk. 21. take heed lest your hearts be overcome; be not drunk with some delight, be not filled with vain cares; Hence, prevent it, as Noah moved with fear made an Ark.
