2. We should stir up our selves: Much of this temper cometh upon us, because of our own laziness, and ordinary indisposition, 2 Tim. 1.6. Stir up the gift of God that is in thee: Isa. 64.6. There is none that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee.
3. We should maintain a lively sense of Christs appearing: Luk. 12.35. This looking, and longing, and waiting keepeth the Soul alive and awake, Heb. 9. ult. To them that look for him: Phil. 3.20. Whence we look for a Saviour: Many may talk of that day, but do not look for it.
4. Keep these four fundamental radical Graces lively and active in the Soul; Faith, Fear, Hope and Love. Faith presents things to us as they are, and puts them in being: Love constraineth us, 2 Cor. 5.14. Fear maketh God every where present: And Hope worketh in us a desirous expectation of Blessedness to come, and this keeps the Soul awake.
