But I know what the flesh will say here, what to be always taken up with holy things? this will be an intolerable burden. O but do not hearken to the evil report, that the flesh will bring upon the ways of God. Indeed I confess it will bring some difficulty, yet I trust, you will be willing to be at some pain for so great a good as this is, but after a little while you will find it easy. There is nothing that is easy to a Learner, but if it be a Trade or such a Tongue […] a little while that he is used to it, it is his delight. And so will this be the sweetest thing in the world to thee, if thou dost but keep thy heart to it a while. And therefore never leave watching and praying, till thou hast got thy heart into this frame.
