And what truths you know, labour to practise, and then you shall be stablished. 1If any man do the will of my Father (saith our Saviour, Joh. 7. 17.) he shall know of the Doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of my self. Be true to known truths; be not false in disobeying them: To him that hath, shall be given: We have a little stablishing; by an uniform obedience to the truth we shall have more, God will increase it. I say, let us be faithful to the truths we have' and not cross them in any sinful course: let us not keep the truth prisoner to any base affection: as those in Rom. 1. that had but the light of nature, yet because they imprisoned it, and held it in unrighteousness, and lived in sins contrary to that light rhat God had kindled in them; though (I say) it were but the light of nature, God gave them up to sins not to be named: much more will he do to us if we withhold the light of the Gospel: take heed therefore that we enthral not the truth to any base lust whatsoever, and that is a means to be stablished in the truth.
