Civility is not purity. A man may be clothed with moral virtues, justice, prudence, temperance yet go to hell.
Profession is not purity. A man may have a name to live and yet be dead. He may be swept by civility and garnished by profession, yet the devil may dwell in the house. The blazing comet is no star. The hypocrite's tongue may be silver, yet his heart stone. Purity consists in two things; rectitude of mind, a prizing holiness in the judgement. Conformity of will, an embracing of holiness in the affections. A pure soul is cast into the mould of holiness. Holiness is a blood that runs in his veins.
