O therefore, if you have any concernment for your poor souls. If it be not indifferent to you, what becomes of them, whether they be saved, or whether they be damned; give all diligence to make your calling and election sure. 2 Pet. 1.10. Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God that worketh in you both to will and to do of his own good pleasure. Phil. 2.12. Remember it is Salvation you work for; and that's no trifle. Remember it's your own Salvation, and not another's. It is for thy own poor soul that thou art striving; and what hast thou more?

Remember, now God offers you his helping hand; now the Spirit waits upon you in the means; but of the continuance thereof ⟨p. 191⟩you have no assurance; for it is of his own good pleasure, and not at yours. To your work souls, to your work. Ah, strive as men that know what an Inheritance in Heaven is worth.
