1. What is it that you Live for? what is that Good which your mind is principally set to obtain? and what is that End which you principally design and endeavour to obtain, and which you set your heart on, and lay out your hopes upon? Is it the Pleasing and glorifying of God, and the everlasting fruition of him? Or is it the Pleasing of your fleshly mind in the fruition of any inferior thing? Know this, and you may know whether Self or God have the greatest interest in you. For that is your God, which you Love most, and Please best, and would do most for.
