IV. A Man who sets up a Trade, ought also to know who he is to deal or trade with: So ought every Christian; and that is God, through the Mediator Jesus Christ; for without him there is no trading to Heaven. 'Tis by him we believe in God, by him we come to the Father. Christ is a Saint's only Correspondent; he receives all our Prayers and Duties, and makes Returns of Mercies.
V. A Man who begins a Trade, ought to be well instructed, and to know every particular Art and Mystery in it: Some Trades or Professions are hard to learn, they are full of Mystery, and very intricate; and if they understand them not, or are not Crafts-masters therein they will never live comfortably of them, as Experience commonly showeth: So every Christian ought to learn the Mystery of Godliness; this heavenly Calling is not easily learned; there is no Trade that is more mysterious than the Trade or Art of Godliness, as we shall fully evince, and make appear, 1. By plain Texts of Scripture. 2. By Arguments and Demonstrations drawn there-from.
