The fourth (and last) volume of discourses, or sermons, on several scriptures

First, It much helps us in our great §1Work to fear God as our Lord and Master that sees and overlooks all our Works, observing both what we do, and how we do it also. That Servant must be desperately bold that will dare to be idle, or slight and perfunctory in his Work, while his Masters Eye is ⟨p. 222⟩upon him. Why Christians should consider Gods Eye is always upon them, in Praying, in Hearing, and in every Duty that they perform, yea, in every Action of their whole Lives: And if the Eye of a Master, that is but a Fellow Creature, nay, but a Fellow Servant, can have such awe and influence upon his Servant as to make him careful how he works and what he works, and to make him diligent in his Work: Should not much more the consideration of Gods Eye being upon us, who stands at an infinite distance from us, cause a holy Fear and Diligence in us, in doing what our Lord and Master commands us?
