2. Give diligence, that ye may be found of the Lord, without spot, and blameless, as the Apostle ⟨p. 286⟩doth advise in the same 14. vers. And read ver. 11 Seeing all these things shall be dissolved, what manne• of Persons ought ye to be, in all holy conversation and godliness. Get the spots of sin washed of• not only the guilt of sin removed, but also the defilement; labour to be holy in all manner of conversation, to be blameless and harmless, the Children of God without rebuke, in the midst of crooked and perverse Generation; Take heed […] the sins of the times and places wherein you live join not with them in their sins, least you share […] their Plagues at the last day. Let your conversation be as becometh the Gospel; let your action be •qu••ed by the Word, as those which must give an account, and receive a reward according […] your works.
