BEsides the last Directions Chap. 18. take these as more nearly pertinent to this case.
§. 1. Direct. 1. See that your hearts have the two great principles of Justice deeply and habitually 1innaturalized or radicated in them: viz. The true Love of your neighbour, and the Denial of your self: which in one precept are called, The Loving of your neighbour as your self. For then you will be freed from the Inclination to injuries and fraud, and from the power of those temptations, which carry men to these sins. They will be contrary to your habitual will or inclination; and you will be more studious to help your neighbour, than to get from him.
