4. CONSIDER how living in such a neglect is consistent with leading an holy life. We are abundantly instructed in scripture, that true christians do lead an holy life; that without holiness no man shall see the LORD, Heb. xii. 14. And that every one that hath this hope in him, purifieth himself, even as CHRIST is pure I Joh. iii. 3.—In Prov. xvi. 17. It is said, The high way of the upright is to depart from evil; i. e. it is, as it were, the common beaten road, in which all the godly travel.—To the like purpose is Isai. xxxv. 8. A high way shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called the way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it, but it shall be for those; i. e. those redeemed persons spoken of in the foregoing verses.—It is spoken of in Rom. Viii, 1. as the character of all believers, that they walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit.
