6. Labour to keep thy Tongue. Whoso keepeth his Mouth, and his Tongue, keepeth his Soul from Trouble.
7. Labour to bring thy Heart into every Duty, beware of Hypocrisy.
8. Do not grieve or offend thy Conscience in any thing; tho the Matter may be in it self lawful, yet thou must not do it, if thou hast a doubt in thy Spirit about it:1 He that doubteth is damned, that is, condemned in his own Conscience. But much more take heed of doing that which is by all owned to be utterly unlawful.
9. Labour in all Acts to be sincere. Conscience hath power to give in Testimony concerning thy Integrity; if thy Heart be unsound, and not upright, Conscience will soon discover it, and reproach thee for it, and thou wilt not be able to hold out to the end: and sad will it be to have thy own Conscience witness against thee, when thou comest to lie on a sick Bed; an evil Conscience will be a bad Death-Bed Companion.
