Now
then
we
fee,
what
is
the thing
that
all
in
Chrift
mutt
grow
to,
even
holineffe:
notto knowledge, not to cotten letter with performance
of
outward
duties,not
to
a
more familiar convcrfing
with
men
of
the belt
mind,
as
commonly we
fpeake
:
Wicked
ones
that
are
not
this
Temple,
may
know fo much
as
to beteachers
of
others,
wicked
ones
may
come
to
learne
the
yoak
of
outward
duties
more
eafily: A
wicked one may
(like
Simon
(llagus)
be
a
companion
of
the
difciples:
And many
that
fay,
Have
we
net eaten

And many that
have
lyen
in

fame
fheets
with them
(hall
not enter
:
The
thing which
princi-
pally
all the building on Jefus
Chrift
muff
grow,
is
holineffe.
Looke then
if
you
will prove your
felves
believing,that you
flay on
him the corner !tone. Looke
if
you
have
growne
in
holineffe: what

if
we have no growth
inthefe, all our lhowes are
but
a
blanke, worth nothing:
every (tone
laid
on
Chrift
muft
grow
up
to
an
holy Temple. Whofoever thou
