Exh. 16. Mortify and bear down the inward passions and corrupt affections of your heart, such as anger, envy, malice, privy hatred, revenge, lustfulness, covetousness, pride, ambition, and all secret inclinations to impiety; untill your souls be purged of these, you cannot expect he Holy Ghost will dwell in you as a temple. Col. iii. 5, 8 1 Cor. iii 16, 17.
Exh. 17. Keep at the utmost distance from the common sins of the times, from cursing, swearing, drunkenness, stealing, cheating, lying, reviling, furnication, bady-language, and all uncleanness, deriding or mocking true godliness, or wishing evil to the godly, &c. For because of these things comes the wrath of God on the guilty. Eph. v. 3, 4, 5.
