John3:21

21 But he that doeth truth , cometh to the light , that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God .

Truth here, is put for true things. He who purposeth, designeth, and acteth nothing but what is just, and holy, and good, and what is consonant to the Will of God,

He is not afraid to bring his Notions and Actions to the Test of the Divine Rule, published by him, who is the true Light.

For he that desires what he doth may be made manifest, both to himself and others, that they are wrought in, with, or according to, by, or through God, (for the Particle [illegible: 1 word] here used, is used in all these senses, 1 Cor. 7.39. Rev. 14.13.) Those works are said to be wrought in, with, by or through God, which tend to the Honour and Glory of God, as their end, and flow from him as their cause, which are done with his Strength and Assistance, and for his Honour and Glory.
