First, Be exhorted to keep all the precepts of God, by way of obedience and submission, keep them more strictly then you have done heretofore, how happy would it be if there were found a people imitating that pattern, 9. Acts 31. Then had the Churches rest throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria, and were edified, and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the holy Ghost were multiplied. Then had the Churches rest, temporal rest, rest from the oppressors; the Churches had rest because they kept the precepts of God, they did walk in the fear of the Lord and were multiplied: Magistrates they should keep the precepts of judgement and justice, Lord (saith David) I have done judgement and justice, therefore deliver me from my Oppressors. The Lord hath not left you to the Oppressor, therefore do you do judgement and justice. To all this City, I would say one word, seeing the Lord hath delivered you from the Oppression of man, love one another, take heed that God having delivered you from open oppression lets not there be secret oppression among you. I would also press you to be keeping of the commandments of God, do not only keep them your selves, but cause others to keep them.
