he
that
feeketh

God
fhall
have
freedome, comfort
in

thing,
as
David
in
dancing before
the Arke,
and it

with
God
; a
cup
of
watergi-

to
him
is
not

and
it (hall
prove to
us
that
the grace
of
God
is
in
our hearts, when wee labour to pleafe him.
But
how
may we
know that
in
the things
wee
doe,
wee delire to

a. He that
laboureth

will being

fpirit
as
well
as
his
body,
and will
bewaile the want
of
that which
is
inward
as
well
as
that which
is
outward,
for
God
is

vend
have
no
fellowfhip
with the
unfruitful!
works of
darkneffe,
but
rasher reprove them.
Now
followeth how
we may walke
as
children
of light, by
decli-
ming
evil'
:
touching which two
duties are fet
down
:
I.
That
we
muff
not
have fellowfhip incvill.
z. That
we muff reprove
both by deed
and
word,
but
rather re,
prove them.
Which
word
[rather]
is
not
for
downe
as
making com-
parifon,
but
by way
of
correótion, not
as
if
this were the
fenfe ,
I
would not
rye
you abfolurely to reprove,
but rather then
to commu-
nicate
in
them, but
this
is
the
fenfe:
«
If
you
will walke as
children of the light
,
have nothing
to
doe
"
with
the unfruitful' works
of
men, corrupt
and darkened
in
"their
underftanding
;
What
laid
I
t
have
no
fellowfhip
with
«them?
nay
rather,
fee
that your
lives and
words
convince
s<
fuch things.
Then
we
fee
that
thofe
in
whom
there
is
the
light
of
grace and true
knowledge, muff
net
walke
in evill
works, nor communicate
in
them.
For
what agreement bath
light
with
darkneffe ?
Andthis

to
.&eepe
our
(elves
unfpotted
of
the world. Seeing the
night
is

the
,day come,

and

&c.
Now
this bath foure branches to

Not

not to be
