Seventhly, Care, That duty is well done, that is carefully done.

Eighthly, Constancy, That which a mans heart is set upon, he will be hardly taken off from it. We must be constant in duties as well as fervent in them, Rev. 2. 3. Beloved, the work that I am now pressing you to, is not to be done once a week, or a month, or every other day; but every day. Every evening, conscience being mounted upon its tribunal, you are to give account of all the things that have passed that day. And remember this, that you never take any excuse for the omitting of this duty, at any time, but what you dare plead before God in the great day of account. It is to be performed every day: as sure as the night follows the day. Neither is this the work of a week, or a month, or a year, or of an evil time only, while the rod of God is upon your backs; no, it is the work of your life: it is a duty that you must live and dye in.
