Believers are commanded to be holy men, Exod. 22. ult. In the Original it is men of holiness, and ye shall be men of holiness unto me, that is all over holy; As Christ is called a man of sorrows, because his whole man, body and soul was steeped in tears, and his whole time from the womb to the tomb was spent in sorrows and sufferings, full of tribulations. And as Antichrist is called a man of sin, because he is, as Beza observes well, Merum scelus, Mere sin, nothing but sin, Isa. 53.3. 2 Thess. 2.3. so the children of God should be men of holiness, mere holiness, made up of holiness, nothing but holiness, every part of them should be holy, and every deed done by them should be holy; holiness in their hearts should, as the Lungs in the body, be in continual motion, and holiness in their life must run through all their words as the Woof through the whole Web.
