The Tenth Rule, or Direction.
Let Gods presence be more to thee than all the world; account it more engagement to thy soul, that thou art with God that thou hast Gods presence with thee, than though thou hadst the eye of all the world upon thee: It would mightily compose the spirits of men and women if they had an awful reverence of the presence of God, and did account it more than all the world besides, and therefore to do nothing in Gods presence but what thou wouldest do in the sight of all the world; or what thou mayest do so as thy conscience may not accuse thee for sin in it. Oh look upon the presence of God as more than all the world unto thee.
