Chap. VI. Containing Directions for Conversion.
Mark x. 17. And there came one, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, What shall I do that I may inherit Eternal Life?
Before thou readest these Directions, I advise thee, yea, I charge thee before God, and His Holy Angels, to resolve to follow them (as far as Conscience shall be convinced of their Agreeableness to God's Word, and thy Estate) and strive in his Assistance and Blessing that they may succeed. And as I have sought the Lord, and consulted his Oracles, what Advice to give thee, so must thou entertain it with that awe, reverence, and purpose of Obedience, that the Word of the living God doth require.
