3. Whatever you do in this work of casting out your own Iniquity, examin it by the Scripture, else you may be deceiv∣ed; the strength of a building consists in the rectitude and straitness of it, and there∣fore to every stone that is laid on, the Ma∣son he lays his rule, his line, his plummet that it may be even. Brethren, what we do by Scripture rule, we may be sure is well done and will last to Eternity; when Saul would cast out his melancholy, the Devil he doth it by Musick, that was the advice of his Courtiers, and not of God's word. No let us follow the Scripture, what that bids us do and what means that bids us use to the casting out of this sin, let us follow that counsel and none else; there is peace to all that do walk according to that Rule.
Sincerity, or, The upright mans walk to heaven in two parts shewing I. that sincerity is the true way to happiness, II. that the keeping of our selves from our own iniquity is the true way to sincerity / delivered in several sermons in the parish church of St. Michael in Long-Stratton Norfolk by James Oldfield, late minister there.
