To walk as becomes the Gospel, is to walk suitably to the great offers of it, and to the Promises contained in it, The exceeding great and Precious Promises, whereby we are made Partakers of the Divine nature: To walk suitably to all the excellent things, the sublimely Spiritual and divine things Promised. 4.

These Promises let us cleanse our selves from all filthiness of the flesh and Spirit, perfecting Holiness in the fear of God. 5. It is to walk answerably to the obligations which the Gospel lays on us, and to the consolations that flow from it to us: If then we would walk as becomes the Gospel of Christ, we must have a due respect unto all these.
