all love to his backsliding offspring . " And therefore , we should learn in the last place , to cast awaj from us all our transgressions and Sin no more . The least that we
can do in return tor the greatest nurcies is to flee from shame and sorrow and corruption by keeping the commandments of God . We should withdiaw ourselves
therefore from all iniquity , and not allow ourselves to oftend in ih ought or word , or deed . We should put away from us all pride and ljw , ptocri $ y , and al ] strife , wrath ,
