So many that are sound Christians, do not know whether they are decaying or increasing for want of this, because they do not look into their duties how they perform them. Christians, how do you perform your duties? Do you more look into them, how sweet they are to you? whether it is better than it was? Christians, you must look to this, are you more extensive. and intensive in your duties? Are you more extensive? Heretofore you looked only at home, to do your selves good; do you do good now to others? Heretofore, Religion was confined to your knees, but now do you bring it forth into your Shops, and Callings? Here•osore, you were for personal godliness, but are you now for Relative godliness? Heretofore, you were for duties of the first Table only, but now do you put both Tables together? ⟨p. 69⟩this would be a good sign, but for want of mens searching into this, they are at a loss; they do not know whether they are better or worse, declining or increasing.
