Study to please God, because he is so easy to be pleased; this is a motive to us to endeavour to please those persons who are easy to be pleased; a Child that hath a Father that is easy to be pleased, a Servant that hath a Master that is easy to be pleased, will study to please them. Sincerity pleaseth God, though in the midst of much infirmity; He is so gracious and merciful, that whensoever a poor sinner doth but desire to please God, he will accept of those desires; If we can but please God, it is no great matter whether we please men or not.
