This Word did spring in me, saying,
Do you well consider, what your Virgin
Garment must be made of; that no Moth
may eat any hole in it? For if any thing
of the earthly Fleece should be inter∣woven
with it, it would damage the
whole part. Therefore all of one sort of
fine Linnen, let your Lord know you in,
upon which no Moth can come to eat.
Then it was further given by way of
Command, saying, If ye resolve to fol∣low
the Lamb up to all perfect degrees,
then observe this as a new Command∣ment,
descriptionPage 488
Take your self off from all old
traditional Conformity, which is after
the manner of men, who are after the
Flesh. From such the Spirit calls to
withdraw, and to walk with him after
another way, according as divine Precepts
shall be revealed.
