Rule 7. You must ever carry your eye upon your mark. So did Paul in the text, I press towards the Mark, for the prize of the high-calling of God in Christ, The mark that a Believer ay•s at, is Gods Glory, and his own, that God may be glorified in him, and he with God. This glorious prize will animate you to your work, and swallow up the sense of labour and difficulty, and make you for the joy set before you, to endure the ⟨p. 275⟩Cross, and despise the shame, Heb. 12. 2. Paul carried the Crown incorruptible in his eye, and that made him with patience invincible to run, and fight, and keep under his body, 1 Cor. 9. 25, 26, 27. All the afflictions, and reproaches that attended Gods poor people and ways, in the time of their thralldom, could not discourage Moses, when he eyed the recompense of reward, Heb. 11. 25. 26. Keep heaven in sight, and your work will go on with pleasure, and all your difficulties will seem light and easy, and not worthy once to enter into comparison with the expected bliss, 2 Cor. 4. 17 18. Rom. 8. 18.
