VI. He that would drive a Trade to gain by it, or thrive upon it, must follow it closely, he must make it his chief Business, nothing will be done in it to purpose without diligence. So every Christian, who would gain by the Trade of Godliness, must keep close to it, he must follow it day and night, and manage it wisely, throughout all his other Affairs. Godliness must be followed without intermission, it must be every day's Work; the Head, Heart, Hands, Feet, Time, Strength, Discourse Contrivance, must be taken up about it. No Man can thrive in Godliness, if his Heart be not in it. When thy Hand is in the World, thy Heart should be in Heaven.
