 Exh, 18. Keep out of ill company, bad examples corrupt good manners: Thing to converse familiarly with openly profane and debauched persons; this will neitherbe for your credit, comfort, or profit, rather chase virtuous, sober and godly people to be your companions: Such a man as ye would be, draw to like company. Prov. xxii. 24. Psal. cxix. 63.

Ex. 19. Lead a holy and religious life, walking sincerely according to the righteous commands of God: Set the Lord always before your face; content not yourselves with a bare form and outward shew of godliness without the power of it; be out entirely holy in all your ways. I Pet, 15, 16. 2 Tim. iii. 5.

Exh. 20. Be good in all relations: not only a good Christian in general, that reads and prays, and runs to preachngs and communions; but be a good husband, a wife; be a dutiful parent, and an obedient child be a righteous master, and diligent and honest servant, be good and peaceful neighbour; wrong nobody either with tongue or hands; thus be good and godly in all relations and
