I instructed them from Col. 2. 6. As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him. From which Text I took occasion to explain to them the necessity of Faith in Christ, which must not be a dead Faith, but attended with good Works, bringing forth manifold Fruits unto new obedience, Holyness and Virtue, not consisting in empty speculative Notions, as some seem to explain it, but affecting the heart with Heavenly divine Thoughts, truly becoming God and Religion, and making reformation upon the whole Man, so that he becomes wholly a new Creature, Holy in Heart and Life, dedicating himself without Reserve, Soul and Body, unto the Service of God. From Acts, 3, 19.
