Don't be deluded, my brethren;

Don't delusively content your selves with being of the audience, but put what you hear in practice:

have not you made an arbitrary distinction, don't your judgments flow from a vicious principle?

don't you see his actions and his faith conspir'd, and that his faith had its perfect effect in his conduct?

My brethren, don't affect many of you to be doctors, considering, that those of us who are such, shall be tried with the greater severity.

but if envy and contention imbitter your minds, don't think your false pretences can stand against the truth:

you quarrel and go to war, but without success, because you don't petition for it: and if you did,

Degenerate race, don't you know that friendship with vice is hostility against heaven. he that is a friend to the vicious world, is an enemy to God.

Don't, my brethren, treat one another with detraction. he that reflects upon his brother, and censures his brother, reflects upon the law, and censures the law: if you censure the law, instead of obeying it, you set up for a judge.

don't repine, my brethren, against one another, for fear you should be condemn'd. behold, the judge is at the gate.

Above all things, my brethren, don't swear, neither by the heaven, nor by the earth, nor use any other oath; but let your affirmation, or negation, be sincere, lest you fall under condemnation.
