Godly. O, Sir, that is my Friend and honest Neighbour Morality, one that I love very well, and I am sure 'tis your great Ignorance to take him for me, he will not say his Name is True Godliness; for tho' in some things we are a little alike, I teaching the same Doctrine you mention, yet we differ exceedingly in many things. First, We herein agree; he says, you must keep God's Commands, I say so too. Secondly, He says you must be righteous, I ⟨p. 80⟩say the like. And Thirdly, That you must do unto all Men as you would they should do to you; I say the very same, it being my Master's own Doctrine.

Godly. He teaches you to seek Justification by doing, but I only by believing: He by keeping the Law, or by living a sober and honest Life, I by God's free Grace, through' the merits of Christ.
