He liveth upon God alone, and is content with his favour and approbation, without the approbation and favour of men.
53
21. He hath absolutely devoted himself, and all that he hath to God, to be used according to his will.
56
22. He hath a readiness to obey, and a quick and pleasant compliance of his will to the will of God.
58
23. He delighteth himself more in God, and Heaven, and Christ, and Holiness, than in all the world: Religion is not tedious and grievous to him.
59
24. He is conscious of his own sincerity, and assured of his Justification, and title to Everlasting Joys.
66
25. This Assurance doth not make him more careless and remiss, but increaseth his love and holy diligence.
68
26. Yet he abhorreth Pride as the first born of the Devil, and is very low and vile in his own eyes, and can easily endure to be low and vile in the eyes of others.
69
27. Being acquainted with the deceitfulness of ⟨image 101⟩the heart, and the methods of temptation, he liveth as among snares, and enemies, and dangers, in a constant watch; and can conquer many and subtle, and great temptations (through grace.)
72
28. He hath counted what it may cost him to be saved, and hath resolved not to stick at suffering, but to bear the Cross, and be conformed to his crucified Lord, and hath already in heart forsaken all for him.
74
29. He is not a Christian only for company or carnal ends, or upon trust of other mens opinion, and therefore would be true to Christ, if his Rulers, his Teachers, his Company, and all that he knoweth should forsake him.
78
30. He can digest the hardest Truths of Scripture, and the hardest passages of Gods Providence.
80
31. He can exercise all his Graces in harmony, without neglecting one to use another, or setting one against another.
81
32. He is more in getting and using Grace, than in enquiring whether he have it (though he do that also in its place.)
82
33. He studieth Duty more than Events, and is more careful what he should be towards God, than how he shall (here) be used by him.
83
34. He is more regardful of his duty to others, than of theirs to him, and had much ⟨image 102⟩rather suffer wrong, than do it.
84
35. He keepeth up a constant Government of his Thoughts, restraining them from evil, and using them upon God, and for him.
87
36.
