Lastly, labour to get this Image of GOD renewed again.1 Honest men will labour to pay their debts; this is ⟨p. 40⟩Gods debt. How do men labour to be in the fashion; better to be out of the world, then out of the fashion. To be like God is heavens fashion, Angels fashion, and it will be in fashion one day, when the Lord Jesus shall appear. Then if thou hast the superscription and Image of the devil, and not the Image of GOD upon thee, GOD and Christ will never own thee at that day. Labour therefore to have Gods image restored again, and Satan's washed out, seek not, as many do, to purchase such and such a grace first: but.
