Wilt thou know now upon what articles thou must inquire at that time, that is, how thou shouldest examine thy self?

As some praier may be at all times,1 & some reioycing may be at all times; so some examination is at all times.2 Thus Iob examined himselfe euerie day, nay, euerie houre, because he scanned all that he did.
