Text. 1 Thes. 5.21. Prove all things; Hold fast that which is good.
IN the later part of this chapter the Apostle lays down many practical Conclusions to be observed, 1and performed by us in our Christian course, and conversation: He begins at the 14 verse and ends at the 22. And therein you have 12 or 13 excellent Conclusions, which are as it were an ⟨p. 54⟩Epitome of our whole duty both towards God, and man; Warn them that are unruly. Comfort the feeble minded. Support the weak. Be patient towards all men. Render not evil for good unto any man. Ever follow that which is good both amongst your selves, and to all men. Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks. Quench not the spirit. Despise not Prophesyings. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil. Now the words of the Text are almost the last, but they are not the least duty here prescribed.
