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.
- 1Be watchful.
8. 1Suppress the first motions of sin: crush this Cockatrice in the Egg: do not dally with secret Temptations unto Sin: abstain from every appearance of secret sins: If you are too much given to contemplative Uncleanness, avoid such things as may occasion it, as beholding of Objects, &c.
