The travels of true godliness, from the beginning of the world to this present…

Thoughtful, O Sir, this is the Friend I want and blessed be God, I have found him, I am resolved to make use of his help and assistance continually. Now Old-man, look to your self, Laborious, I hope, will do your Business, and I shall quickly prevail, and open the door to True Godliness. Upon this he became very diligent in attending upon all the means of Grace. Moreover, by the help of Endeavour he cut off some one or two of ⟨p. 137⟩the Members of Old-man, that cursed body of sin, and prayed Morning and Evening, eschewing all open Profaneness and scandalous Sins, and would not speak at random with his Tongue, nor neglect to hear one good Sermon, if possible he could get an opportunity, and became mighty just in all his dealings and commerce with men. But soon upon this Apollyon, by the treachery of Old-man, raised up another Enemy which had almost insensibly undone him; his Name was Self-righteousness, a very great Enemy to True Godliness; which Godliness soon perceived, and called upon him, to open the door, for it appears he had not received him yet.
