Directions about putting on the Girdle of Truth.

1. Take heed of a counterfeit Girdle; see that what you own and practise for Truth have the Stamp of God upon it.

2. Take up nothing upon Trust: Do not receive this or that, because such and such Men believe so, and practise so; neither Men nor Ministers are your Rule, but the Word of God.

3. Put not this Girdle of Truth on in Notion only; what will the knowledg of Truth signify in thy Head, if the Loins of thy Mind are not girt with it.

4. Take heed of being prejudiced against the Truth, because of the Unworthiness of them who profess it.

5. If thou hast not yet gotten the Girdle of Truth, buy it now;* 1.1 as Solomon advi∣seth, Buy the Truth, and sell it not. The Price of Truth may quickly rise high.

6. Let Falshood go, let thy Sins go, let thy own Righteousness go, in point of reliance or dependence upon it, so as to trust in it for Justification and eternal Life.

7. Come up to the Price of Truth; do not cheapen it only, but come up to the Price, tho it cost thee a right Hand Lust of Profit; or a right Eye Lust of Pleasure: Thou must deny thy self.
