3. *Be this your one ultimate end in all things. With this view, be plain, open, undisguised, let your love be without dissimulation: why should you hide fair, disinterested love? Let there be no guile found in your mouth: let your words be the genuine picture of your heart. Let there be no darkness or reservedness in your conversation, no disguise in your behaviour. Leave this to those who have other designs in view; designs which will not bear the light. Be ye artless and simple to all mankind; that all may see the grace of God which is in you. And although some will harden their hearts, yet others will take knowledge, that ye have been with _Jesus_, and by returning themselves _to the great Bishop of their souls, glorify your Father which is in heaven_. 4. *With this one design, that men may _glorify_ God _in you_, go on in his name, and in the power of his might. Be not ashamed, even to stand alone, so it be in the ways of God. Let the light which is in your heart, shine in all good works, both works of piety and works of mercy. And in order to enlarge your ability of doing good, renounce all superfluities. Cut off all unnecessary expence, in food, in furniture, in apparel. Be a good steward of every gift of God, even of these his lowest gifts. Cutoff all unnecessary expence of time, all needless or useless employments. And _whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might_. In a word, be thou full of faith and love: do good: suffer evil. And herein be thou _stedfast, unmoveable_: yea, _always abounding in the work of the_ Lord; _forasmuch as thou knowest that thy labour is not in vain in the_ Lord. SERMON XXV. UPON OUR LORD’S SERMON ON THE MOUNT. DISCOURSE V. MATT. v. 17, 18, 19, 20. _Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets; I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, ’till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, ’till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven; but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For verily I say unto you, except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven._
