12. 1Seriously consider and work upon your heart, till you feel your soul affected with it, that Gods purposes concerning you and your good, and eternal peace is the same at one time as at another, and he performs all his promises which he maketh unto you: God doth not one time purpose for to save you, and another time purpose to condemn you; and why should you then be unconstant in your purposes towards God, one time to purpose that you will serve him more, and glorify him more, and at another time be careless to order your life according to the intention of your heart. When you find your hearts begin to slink, and go from the purpose and promise that you have made, press your self with affecting thoughts of the Immutability of Gods purposes to you, and this might help you to constancy in your purposes towards God.
