Walk accurately, tread right, Gal. 2.14. ſtep warily, lift not up one foot, till you finde firm footing for another, as thoſe, Pſal. 35.6.

And Nem[illegible: 1 letter] ſibi de ſuo palpet: quiſque ſibi Satan eſt, ſaith another Father, wee have enough to watch for our halting: the Devil alſo caſts his club at us, that wee may ſtumble and fall, and bee broken, and ſnared, and taken, Iſa. 8.15.
