3. Oh then! be sure to get this truth of Grace into your Hearts; let your Hearts be effectually subdued to God, let there be a Principle of Life set up in them: Religion respects our Principles as well as our Performances. 2 Tim. 1.5. The end of the Commandment is Charity, out of a pure Heart, and a good Conscience, and Faith unfeigned. There must be a renewed Heart as the fountain, a well informed Conscience as our guide, and Faith unfeigned as our great encouragement: And so all acts of Charity to God and men, are accepted with God as a piece of Obedience done to him. If we will not regard the Manner, God will not regard the Matter. Oh then get this renewed Heart, and a lively Faith, and an awakened Conscience: This is to get Oil into your Vessels, and if once you get this, it will never fail, but increase exceedingly, like the Sareptan's Oil.

But how shall we get it?
