Leg. 17. Eye more, mind more, and lay to heart more, the Spiritual and Internal workings of God in your Souls, than the External Providences of God in the World. Beloved, GOD looks that we should consider the operations of his hand; and the despising the works of his hands is so provoking to him, that he threatens them to lead them into Captivity, for not considering of them. But above all, look to the work that God is carrying on in your Souls: not a Soul, but he is carrying on some work or other in it, either blinding or enlightening, bettering or wors• ing; and therefore look to what God is doing in thy Soul. All the motions ⟨image 135⟩of God within you are steps to eternity, and every soul shall be blessed or cursed, saved or lost, to all eternity; not according to outward dispensation, but according to the inward operations of God in your Souls. Observe, what humbling work, reforming work, sanctifying work, he is about in thy spirit, what he is doing in that little world within. If God should carry on never so glorious a work in the world, as a Conquest of Nations to Christ; what would it advantage thee, if Sin, Satan, and the World should triumph in thy Soul, and carry the day there?
