1. 1Hold fast in judgment the truths of the Gospel, that ye do not run into Error: This is laid down 2 Pet. 3.17. Therefore beloved seeing ye know these things, beware lest ye also being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness; that is in judgment: there must be a foreknowledge of the truths of the Gospel, before the can attain unto steadfastness in grace; and besides knowledge, there is required vigilance and carefulness if we would hold fast the truths of the Gospel: Thus you are to retain in judgment the Doctrines of the Gospel, that ye run not into erroneous Principles. It is childish, 2faith Saint Paul Ephes. 4.14. to be tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of Doctrine: to be over credulous, easy of belief, fickle and wavering as children are.
