Sixthly, Consider, is not grace worth the taking pains for? What wilt thou take pain for, if not for grace? Look about in the world: see how the men of the world run and ride, sweat and tire themselves for toys and trifles.

Think upon it, if thou hast any spark of ingenuity this consideration will prevail upon thee to set about this work.
