3. Endeavour in all things so to carry it that such as take notice of you may see and know▪ whose Children you are: Bear always about with you the Image of God, and labour after an evident representation of his perfections in your whole conversation, Mat. 5. ult. Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect. Remember that as there is a real, so there ought to be a manifest difference between the Children of God and the Children of the Devil, 1 Joh. 3. 9. In this the Children of God are manifested. It is therefore your part to be always showing the difference; And to that end have a care of conforming your selves in the sinful and carnal courses and customs of the world. Be not afraid, no nor ashamed to run in a stream quite contrary to theirs. And for this be observant of the rules of Gods word, where you may learn to cleanse your way and regulate your lives suitable to your relation.
