Let us every day renew our Covenants in this kind, and our resolutions to do nothing against conscience, to go on in Christian courses; let it be our constant course: For as Gods Children know they shall continue to 1the end, so it is wrought from resolution so to do: and this resolution stirs them up to depend upon God by prayer, that he would knit their hearts to him, that they may fear his Name; that he would give them Grace sufficient, &c. that he would establish their hearts, as David prays.

- 1Resolution.
This resolution it drives them to prayer, and to all good courses, that God would stablish them in every good work, in every good thought and desire, and that he would knit their hearts nearer to him. Resolve therefore every day in dependence upon God, to take good courses, that so whensoever any Judgment of God shall come, or when the hour of death shall light on us, it may not come as a snare, that it may take us in good resolutions; it is no matter how we dye in outward respects, if we dye in good resolutions.
