The way to true happiness in a serious treatise /

Though sin may dwell (God knows a wearisome and unwelcome guest) in him, yet it hath no more dominion over him. Rom. 6. 14, 7. He hath his fruit unto holiness, Rom. 6. 22. and though he makes many a blot, yet the law and life of Jesus is that he eyes, as his copy, Psal. 119. 30. Heb. 12. 2. and hath an unfeigned respect to all Gods commandments, Ps. 119. 6. He makes conscience even of little sins & little duties, Psal. 119. 113. His very infirmities which he cannot help, though he would, are his souls burden, and are like the dust in a mans eye, which though but little, yet are not a little troublesome. [O man, Dost thou read this, and never turn in upon thy soul by self-examination?] The sincere Convert is not one man at Church, and another at home: he is not a Saint on his knees, and a Cheat in his shop: he will not tithe mint and cummin, and neglect mercy and judgment, and the weighty matters of the Law: he doth not pretend piety and neglect morality, Mat. 23. 14. but he turns from all his sins and keeps all Gods Statutes, Ezek. 18. 21. though not perfectly (except in desire and endeavour) yet sincerely, not allowing ⟨p. 38⟩himself in the breach of any, Rom. 7. 15, Now he delights in thy word, and sets himself to prayer, and opens his hand, (if able) and draws out his soul to the hungry, Rom. 7. 22. Psal. 109. 4
