And if you say, How should that be? The Apostle tells you: Whom beholding, as in a glass, 1we are changed from glory to glory, according to His own Image: The serious, frequent beholding of Jesus Christ, is the only way to be like unto Him Beloved! your lives, they are divided into two parts: There is a Doing part: and a Suffering part: As Christs Obedience was divided into Active, and Passive Obedience. Would you in the Doing part of your life be like unto Christ? Behold Him in His Doing: Omnis Christi Actio, est instructio. Every Action of Christ may be our instruction: Nothing in Christ not imitable; some things more especially. For Example: Our Lord and Saviour Christ, He made it His great business and design, To bear witness to the Truth: For this Cause came I into the world, 2That I might bear witness unto the Truth.
