<i>The ‘True and Zealouse Seruice of God’: Robert Parsons. Edmund Bunny, and</i>The First Booke of the Christian Exercise

Abstract

It appeareth (I saye) what an exacte lyfe the trew lyfe of a Christian is: which is a continuall resistance of all sinne, bothe in thought, word and deede, and a performance or exercise of all good woorkes, that possiblie he can deuise to doe. God requireth at our handes, that we should make his lawes and preceptes our studie and cogitations: that we should think of them continuallie, &amp; meditate vpon them bothe day and night, at home and abrode, early &amp; late, when we go to bedde, and when we rise in the morning: this is his commaudement, &amp; there is no dispensation therin.
