4 Watch your hearts;1 it was Christs watch-word to his Disciples, Mat. 24. 42. Watch therefore; the heart will precipitate us to sin, before we are aware; a subtle heart, needs a watchful eye; watch your thoughts, your affections; the heart hath a thousand doors to run out at: O keep close sentinel in your souls! stand continually upon your Watch-tower, Hab. 2. 1. when you have prayed against sin, watch against* tentation; most wickedness in the world, is committed ⟨p. 297⟩for want of watchfulness; watchfulness maintains godliness, it is the selvedge which keeps religion from ravelling out.
4 Watch your hearts;1 it was Christs watch-word to his Disciples, Mat. 24. 42. Watch therefore; the heart will praecipitate us to sin, before we are aware; a subtil heart, needs a watchful eye; watch your thoughts, your affections; the heart hath a thousand doors to run out at: O keep close sentinel in your souls! stand continually upon your Watch-tower, Hab. 2. 1. when you have prayed against sin, watch against* tentation; most wickedness in the world, is committed ⟨p. 297⟩for want of watchfulness; watchfulness maintains godliness, it is the selvedge which keeps religion from ravelling out.
