Ruth's resolution

From the Words thus opened, I observe this for the Subject of my present Discourse.

When those that we have formerly been conversant with, are turning to God and joining themselves to his People▪ it ought to be our f•r• Resolution that we will not leave them: but that their People shall be our People▪ and their God our God.

It is sometimes so▪ that of those that have been conversant one with another that have dwelt together as Neighbours, and have been often together as Companions, or have been united in near Relation, and have been together in Darkness, Bondage and •tilery, in the Service of Satan some are enlightened and have their Minds changed, are made to see the great End of Sin, and have their Hearts turned to God, and are influenced by the Holy Spirit of God to leave their Company that are on Satan•s Side, to go it join themselves with that blessed Company that are with •• t•s […]: they are made wil•••g• of ••ake the Tents of Wickedness, to dwelt in the Land of Up••g•tness with the People of God.
