Then walk not as some Gentiles walk,
in vanity of minde:
Estranged from the life of God;
because their hearts are blinde.
19, 20, 21.
Who being past the sense of sin,
let loose to all excesse
Of ••••nton and unclean desires,
and that with greediness.
But ye have not so learned Christ,
if ye by him were taught:
And as the truth in Jesus is
have learnt him as ye ought.
22. ch. 5. 11.
The old man that ye do put off,
which is corrupt and vile,
In sinful lusts of former life,
which did your souls beguile.
And have no fellowship at all
with works that shun the light:
But rather such unfruitful works
reprove in open sight.
2. PART.
Eph. 4. 24, 23. ch. 5. 8, 11.
Cast off the old man with his deeds,
and put ye on the new,
Made after God in righteousnesse,
and holinesse most true.
And be renew'd in heart and soul,
and walk as sons of light:
And prove what things the Lord allows
as pleasing in his sight.
2 Tim. 2. 19, 22, 21. R••m.
And as 'tis meet, let every one

that names the Name of Christ
Depart from all iniquity,
and by no lust be tic'd.
The purging of our selves from these
will evidently produce
Vessels to honour sanctifi'd,
meet for the Masters use.
Rom. 6. 22. 1 Tim. 1. 17.
And being thus from sin made free,
Gods service to attend,
The fruit to holinesse shall be
Eternal life the end.
Now to the true eternal King
not seen with humane eye:
Th' immortal onely wise true God
be praise perpetually.
