Thirdly, Labour to keep alive upon your selves a deep sense of your strong obligations to God. Often think with your selves what a righteous, what a reasonable thing it is, that you should with all that you have serve the Lord. Beloved, sha I not the Vessel be for the use of the Potter that made it? Shall not the servant Trade for his Master with whose goods he is entrusted? do you not fetch all your bread from Gods door? ⟨p. 54⟩Is not he the Rock that begat you? the Author of your being and well-being? is not this he that can crucify you or release you? can save you or damn you at his pleasure? Is it not from him that you fetch every breath? your interest obliges you to please him. Why should Belshazzar's charge be against you? that the God in whose hand your breach is, and whose are all your ways, you have not glorified, Dan. 5. 23.

Though a man need not, cannot think of his Journeys-end at every step, yet with care he might come to this in every solemn action, particularly and expressly to mind his end: a man cannot (nor need he) think at every bit that he puts into his mouth, I will eat this for God: yet he might every time he sits down to his Table, remember to eat and drink, not to gratify his flesh, but to glorify God, by getting strength for his work, you cannot think of it in every step in your Journey; but without intending some glory to God by serving his will in your place and station? and so in your visits and labours.
