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.

Renew Repentance every day,1 and labour after fresh Acts of Faith; keep thy Accounts even with God, observe the Mercies thou receivest from him, and be sensible of thy Faults and Miscarriages.
