If he walke according to the rule of a new creature Galat. 6 15. be a new creature peace shal be vpō him mercie as saith the Apostle If he can say with the Apostle 2. Cor. 1 12. This is my reioycing the testimonie of my cōsciēce that in simplicitie godly purenes and not in fleshly wisedome but by the grace of God I haue had my conuersation in the world If hée haue true loue towardes the brethren euen to be gréeued in their griefes and ioyfull in their good and carefull to helpe them in christian compassion by easing their gréeues and furthering their good it is a true marke of the child of God And thereby saith Iohn we know that we are of the truth 1. Iohn 3.19 and shall before him that is God assure our harts And in 1. Iohn 4. he saith Herby we know that he dwelleth in vs and we in him because he hath giuen vs of his spirit that is the fruits of his spirit Roman 8. And if any haue not the fruits of the spirit the same is none of his The fruits of the spirit are as appeareth in Galathians 5. loue ioy peace Galat. 5 22. long suffering gentlenes goodnes faith meeknes c.

Pet. 3.15 Be redie alwaies to giue an answer to euery mā that asketh you a reason of that hope that is in you Our sauiour Christ saith in Iohn 8. He that is of God heareth Gods word Iohn 8 47.

Thirdly by true Christian loue Iohn 13 35. Hereby saith Christ in the 13. of Iohn shall all men know that ye are my disciples if ye haue loue one to an other These are thrée sure markes to know a faithfull man by so farre as man may iudge Hypocrites God will either display in this world in time by bringing their sinnes abroad to the view of all men as he did Symon Magus his sinnes Iudas Saules and many others or else when the secrets of all mens harts shal be disclosed he will throwe those tares into vnquenchable fier with others prepared to condemnation Qu How may a mā know an vnfaithfull man and an infidell An.
