Means 6. Christian Conference. Take heed of the company of the wicked; from such turn away; if ⟨p. 82⟩you are under ties to be in such company, converse with them as infected persons, with an Antidote, lest you receive hurt by them, and with endeavours of doing them good. But choose the company of them that fear God; they are the excellent persons; the wicked are the Dross of the Earth, they are the Gold; let your delight be in their society; associate chiefly, if you have opportunity, with such as have most of the power of godliness; and labour to improve by their company whenever you come into it; endeavour to get light, and life, and warmth and strength from them; take heed of unprofitable discourse; but let it be with grace for edification.
