The Christians Practise of this Command.
I Am the Lords seruant, I will not forget him:* 1.1 Esay. 44. 21. but will lay vp his words in my heart, that I sinne not against him. Psal. 119. I will not walke after the stubbornnesse of mine heart, that I should not heare the Commande∣ments of my God. Ierem. 16. 12. I will not striue but will be gentle toward all men, instructing* 1.2 with meeknesse them that are contrary minded: 2. Tim. 2. For I haue no such custome as to be contentious; 1 Cor. 11. 16. but I cannot for-beare them which are euill. Reuel. 2. 2. I cannot suf∣fer* 1.3 such as deceiue the seruants of the Lord; Reuel. 2. 20. saying they are Apostles, and are not: Reuel. 2. 2. for the zeale of thine house hath eaten me, and the rebukes of them that rebu∣ked thee are fallen vpon me. Psal. 69. 9. Yea, my zeale hath consumed me, because mine ene∣mies haue forgotten thy word. Psal. 119. 139.
