Stimulator. Or, The case of a soul walking in darkness awfully & suitably considered. An essay, to awaken people out of the lethargy which disposes them to continue in a dark uncertainty about their future state, in the world, which is not seen, but is eternal. : [Four lines of Scripture texts]

Soul, If thou art come to these Things, thou hast the Marks of GOD upon thee; Thou art of the Righteous Nation, which the Gates of the Holy City forever stand open to. Oh! let nothing pacify thee, till thou find thy self thus Marked of, and for the Lord.
Thirdly. There are various Acts of a Believer Living unto GOD. The Doing of any such Acts will help to show it, and a course Abounding and persisting in such Acts, will indisputably show it, that you are to Live Eternally. As now, To do the part of a Sacrificer, in Patiently and Cheerfully Submitting to the Will of GOD, as often as he does with Afflictive Dispensations Perform the Thing that is appointed for us: Willingly to offer up our Sacrifices, when our Desirable Things are taken away with a Stroke; Devoutly to find in a CHRIST all the Good which we fondly sought in the things that we have Sacrificed: This will determine it, that we have a part in the Royal Priesthood; & we shall one day come to serve GOD in His Temple which is Above.
Again; To Realize the Eye of GOD upon you in all your ways; to be by the Awe thereof Restrained from Evil ways, and Forwarded in Good ways; by this Thought, GOD sees me; GOD knows what is done in the most secret places! ⟨p. 43⟩To keep a Guard on the very Motions of your Hearts, because GOD Looks upon them! This is the way of none but the upright in Heart; the Good ones, whom GOD will do Good unto.
