Heaven upon earth in the serene tranquillity and calm composure, in the sweet peace…

The First Use, Serves, to give you an evidence, and mark of a tender walk, and of a man that is tender in his walk; he is such a man that will not only ask his Conscience ere he begin an Action, but when he is a doing of it, what it thinketh of it: There are Three things that a tender Christian will reflect upon, in the time of his doing an Action or Duty; 1. He will reflect upon his manner of performing it; whither it be a natural Action, such as Eating and Drinking; a civil Action, such as Buying and Selling; a Religious Action, such as Praying, or hearing, &c. He will look that in them all he be single; that his Eating and Drinking be to fit him to serve God; That in his Buying and Selling, he seek not only his own things, but the good of his Neighbour, as well as his own good; That in his Praying, or Hearing, he be sincere, that it be in Faith, and according to the will of God, &c. 2ly. He will reflect on himself in the performing of his Actions, that he be in a right frame; that he be tender, and sincere, that some awe of God, and of a good Conscience be on him, that his Spirit be sober and composed, that a carnal frame steal not in upon him, in the time of his doing a warrantable Action, or a commanded ⟨p. 170⟩Duty, because that will mar it. 3dly. He will reflect upon his Conscience, that he may hear what it says of the Action; He will not, as it were, take his Testimony from himself, but Conscience being as a distinct thing, some way from himself, he will hear what it sayeth; As Paul doth here, it is truth which he speaketh, and he speaketh it in the right manner▪ and yet he taketh a look of his Conscience, if he be doing so in very deed, to wit, sincerely, as in the sight of God; yea more, he taketh the Testimony of his Conscience, if it be not so; And thus here he looketh not to, nor reflecteth on his Conscience, to alter any piece of his way, but to have it's sense of that piece of it; He gathers, that the Action is good from the Word; and he inquires if he be, and collects that he is right, in the performance from his Conscience, testifying according to the Word; so that he will not trust himself, but goeth to Conscience, as being more impartial, to take it's Testimony:
