1The only use I shall make of this, is to beseech the New Testament Saints to follow this Old Testament copy and pattern. You have been often taught how to live well, give me leave to teach you this day how to dye well. It is not long but you must all die. Let it be your care, that when you come to die, you may die in the faith of the Lord Jesus. There is a double faith in which you must labour to die; In fide quae creditur & quâ creditur. 1. In the true doctrine of faith. 2. In the saving grace of faith.

11. In the true doctrine of faith. For there are damnable doctrines as well as damnable practices. There are doctrines of Devils as well as works of Devils. A man may go to hell for heresy as well as •or iniquity. The Scripture tells us of some opinions which subvert the soul, and overthrow ⟨p. 27⟩the faith: which Tertullian calls doctrines devouring a mans 2salvation, and the cankers of Christian Religion. And therefore let it be your care to avoid all soul-subverting doctrines, to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the Saints, and to hold fast the ancient Catholic and Apostolical faith.
