Mr. Alleine's Counsel for Personal and Family-godliness.
Beloved, I despair of ever bringing you to salvation without sanctification: Or possessing you of happiness, without persuading you to holiness.

I beseech you study personal godliness, and family-godliness.

1. Personal godliness. Let it be your first care to set up Christ in your hearts. See that you make all your worldly interests to stoop to him, that you be entirely and unreservedly devoted unto him. If you wilfully, and deliberately, and ordinarily harbour any sin, you are undone, Psal 68. 21. Ezek. 18. 20. See that you unfeignedly take the Laws of Christ, as the ⟨p. 177⟩rule of your words, thoughts, and actions; and subject your whole man, members and mind faithfully to him, Psal. 119. 34
