The kingdom of heaven take for 1the congregation or church of Christ. And to be of the kingdom of heaven, is to know God for our father, and Christ for our Lord and saviour from all sin. And to enter into this kingdom it is impossible except the hart of men be to keep the commandments 2of God purely, as it is written. John. vij. if any man will obey his will, that 3is to say, the will of the father that sent me (saith Christ) he shall know of the doctrine: whether it be of God, or whether I speak of mine own head. For if thine hart be to do the will of God, which is his commandments: he will give thee a pure eye, both to discern the true doctrine from the false, & the true Doctor from the howling hypocrite. And therefore he saith.
