The ear that was once open to Satan's call, and that (like a vitiated palate.) did relish nothing so much as filthy, or at least frothy talk, and the fools laughter, is now bored to the door of Christ house, and open to his discipline.

Psal. 19. 10.

The head, that was the shop of worldly designs, is now filled with other matters, and set on the study of Gods will, Psal. 1. 2. Psal. 119. 97. and the man beats his head, not so much abouts his gain, but about his duty. The thoughts and cares that now fill his head are principally, how he may please God, and fly sin.
