Answ. In Regard there is none that doth good and sinneth not, and God is not, not can be pleased with Sin, no not in his own People, but most of all hates it in them, it cannot be that any Man in this Life should fully come up to Christ's Example in this; yet may we come on so far towards it as that not only in our immediate Addresses to God, but in the general course of our Lives, we may come to please God. Thus Enoch and Noah walked with God, i. e. in their general Course they walked so as to please God, and approve themselves in his Sight: Thus the meanest of Actions, if done by us unto the Lord as the Servants of Christ, have a Promise of Acceptance and Reward, Col. 3.22.23.24.
Q. II How may we come in our Measure to be followers of Christ, in this, to do always those things that please God?
