Sixthly ,
Further, Certainly
thofe will hold

never
prove Apoflates that have cleane hearts
;
.Indeed
a

But

Will

indeed
if
there
be but only
a
gilding over,
and
the
moll
that

is
but droffe,
if
it
be
put

there
codume,
but
if it

it

And-fo

But
if

In the
a
S
Phil
a.
My Father
purges
It
that,it
may
bring

more
fruit,
fpeak-
ing
of the-Vine
:
Ifthere
be anyuncleannefs got into
-thy
heart,
and
the Lord eyther
by afflictions
or
any
other
way (ball
pun,e
thine
heart,
o
this is
that that will mike thee bring
forth much
fruit
;
As
it's with
Children
that are
full
of
ill
humours,
they
doe
not
thrive
and
grow
;
But
if
you
give them
any
thing
to
purge out
that ill humour,in
a
little
time
how will
they
thrive
and
íhoote
up and grow
exceedingly
: So
it
is
with
-many
of
you,
you
doe not thrive
in
the
wayes
of
Religion,
you
doe
nit
grow up
at
all in Godlineffe,-
you
doe not
bring forth
fruit
to
the Glory
of
God,ô
there
is
much
uncleanneae
and
filthineffe
got
into
your hearts
,
but
if the
Lord would
pleafe
to
purge
you,
by the
renewing
of
the Spirit
,
and
walking
of
the blood
of
Chrift,
and
the
renewing
of
the
work of
Repentance,
you
would
grow
up in
Godlinetfe
,
and
bring-forth
much
fruit
to
the Glory of
God
:
O blefled
are
the pure
in
heart.
