remnant of Christ to lie among those who haveing received Gospel light and gospel gifts evidently do make also profession of Gospel grace union and communion with Christ seperation from the world and the wayes of it in a conversation acceptable unto God in Christ and to this portion shall I say as Ruth to Naomi Let what will be glorious or uppermost in the world whether thou goest I will go where thou lodgest I will lodge thy people shall be my people and thy God my God the Lord do so to me and more also if ought part thee and me with them let my portion be and the portion of my family whatever their lot and condition in this world shall be and the Lord say Amen Obj. 1.

Let not Sathan cheat you of your duty by this trivial objection If he can keep you from duty whilst he can make divisions he hath you sure enough They of whom I speak be they under what reproach or obloquies soever they are all true men all the children of one father though they are unhappily fallen out by the way Vse 2.
