Now therefore, as ever you do desire that you may please the Father;
As you do desire, that your only may be found in the right and proper place;
As you do desire, that your onely may be found in the right and proper place;
As you do desire, that you may be found having the wedding Garment on:
As you do desire, that all your Convictions, Graces, Duties, may be more refined, and so preserved and kept:
As you do desire, to be found doing according to the state whereunto you are called; so let it be your work, your and business, to stand clear from Moses, and to stand upon clear Gospel ground, and to come off fully unto Jesus the Mediator of the New Covenant: For, saith this Doctrine, In these Gospel times, we are not come unto Moses, the Mediator of the Old Testament, or of the Old Covenant, but unto Jesus, the Mediator of the New Covenant: And so I have done with this third Observation. There is a fourth thing yet behind, which concerns the Blood of Sprinkling, that speaketh better things than the blood of Abel.
