We may in a word, briefly sum up a Christians Conversation as becometh the Gospel, in these Three; 1. That he shine in his Conversation, so as he may adorn the Gospel, 2. That he improve, by the exercise of Faith, the Promises of it. 3. That he endeavour to live on the comforts of it, and to live in the hope and expectation of the comfort & refreshing, from the Presence of the Lord, and the fullness of joys therein, that are coming: some-what of all these Three is couched in those Words, Acts. 9.31. Then the Churches had rest, and were edified, and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied: They walked in the fear of God in respect of their Practice: and in respect of their Faith, they walked in the comfort of the Holy Ghost; and they were Edified, grew and increased, not only in respect of their number, but as to their Spiritual state and stature; And thus, the Peace of God which passeth understanding, guarded their minds and hearts through Christ Jesus.
