RULE IV.

Let us be with God, that we may Walk with Him. Be always on God's side against Sins side: All other siding may be culpable, but this is Necessary, this is Praise-worthy: Indeed Sin, that calls like Jehu, in 2. King. 9. 32. Who is on my side? who? This is the outcry of Superstition and Profanity; Who is on my side? who? But let me oppose that of Moses hereunto, in Exod. 32. 26. Who is on the Lords side? Even so, Who is on the side of Godliness and Honesty? Who is on the side of Holiness and Sobriety? Who will bear a Testimony to all the Truths, and all the Ways of the Lord? Let us all be on that side, and Walk accordingly.
