Now lest unbelief and distrust should damp your Joy, and spoil your work of praise, let me show you to whom I speak: and let you know, how you may know that you are those that I speak to. Let me show you in two marks, whereby you may come certainly to know it: you may know it by your Car•, and by your Comforts. What is your chief care and your chief comfort? look upon your selves and judge of your selves by these two marks.

First, By your Cares. Brethren, what is the chief care of your heart? what is it that lies with most weight upon your heart? or that you do prosecute with most care in your life? you are the people of God if this be your great care, to please God, eschew sin, and save your selves. If this be your great care, then you are the men. Methinks this should not be so hard to be discerned. Dost thou not know what is the main scope and drift of thy life?

:361p. 150–151

First, To please God. If this be your great endeavour whether you are present or absent, alone or in company, that you may please God, this is the true disposition of Gods servants. Do you study to watch over your hearts as in Gods sight? and carry it in your lives as of sincerity and in the sight of God? 2 Cor. 1. 12
