HOLINESS.
If we design to be holy, let us constantly in our families, towards our relations, in churches, in our conversations in the world, and dealings with men, all men, towards our enemies and persecutors, the worst of them, towards all mankind as we have opportunity, labour after a conformity unto God, and to express our likeness unto him in this philanthropic goodness, benignity, condescension, readiness to forgive, help, and without which we neither are nor can be children of our Father which is in heaven.
