6.1 Make it your great design to have the approbation of God: He that doth hunt after the commendation of Men, will be good when Men do see him; but, he that seeks for the approbation of God, endeavours to be good at all times, and in all places: Rom. 2.29. But, he is a Jew, which is one inwardly, and Circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, and not in the Letter, whose praise is not of Men, but of God. 2 Tim. 2.15. Study to show thy self approved unto God.

7. 1Be very watchful over your heart when you are alone: and over your outward Senses when you are in Company. He that doth not diligently watch, will frequently sin: there will be many secret stirrings of Unbelief in your heart, and of Pride, and of Vain-Thoughts, either injected by the Devil, or arising from the Corruption in your own heart: A secret enemy must be watched more narrowly, and so must secret sins.
