Always let the first-fruits of thy Reason be presented to the Lord, that so the whole harvest of thy conversation may be Sanctified.
Let your habit be neither careless nor curious: though men may respect you for your outward habit, God doth expect that your inward garment should be Righteousness.
Let your ejaculations suit with your actions in the morning; as when you clean your hands, Pray to God to cleanse your Soul from sin; or when you clothe your body, Pray to him to clothe you with the Armour of Faith, and a good Conscience.
