In-Text |
our Sauiour incourageth him and his Church with this Exhortation, saying, Hold that thou hast. As if he should haue said, thou hast begun in the Spirit, end not in the Flesh; as yet thou bearest the Image of God, then fashion not thy selfe according to the World; thou art yet in the Light, delight not then in the workes of Darknesse; thine Alpha hath beene sinceritie, then let not thine Omega be seusualitie: without perseuerance the best Professor is but as a branch cut off from the Vine, he can bring forth no fruit, a painted Tombe full of rotten bones, a fruitlesse Fig-tree, with goodly blossomes. |
