Consider, what power of godliness thy light produceth in thee, what self-discovery, what self-denial it hath begotten in thee, especially touching thy predominate sin; what contempt of the world in the good and evil of it, what conscience of sin, of duty, and the manner of it, what conjunction of duties of the second Table with the duties of the first Table; what contentation with thy state, what watchfulness over thy heart, and all the outgoings of it; what willingness to take Christ with the Cross; what desire and endeavour to help others; what hunger and thirst after all those means, which God hath appointed for the increase of it, and all grace in us; what fruitfulness in righteousness, &c.1 Saving illumination produceth fruitfulness.

Secondly,1 Consider how that light which thou hast, doth regulate and reform thee, consider how it regulates thy judgment, thy will and affections; how it reforms thy life and all thy actions, and conforms them to the Word and Will of Christ: Consider, what death to sin, what life to righteousness it produceth in thee, what through reformation it hath begotten in thee; renewing light is reforming light; universally reforming, inwardly reforming, and perseveringly reforming.
