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.

Moreover, To welcome any Bitter Thing, whereby Sin may be Embittered; and this Because of its being so! To prefer a Sanctified Adversity, before a Secure, Senseless, Carnal Prosperity: To be Thankful for a Way hedged with Thorns, wherein you are kept from Walking in the vanity of your Minds! This is not the way of the Hypocrite
Soul, Here are Symptoms, that thou hast the Life of GOD begun in thee But if thou dost indeed feel thy self Living to GOD, thou mayst argue from it, Now I see that the Sentence of Death passed on me for my Sin, is taken off, & my Sin is all forgiven. Go on, & argue at this rate; The Life of GOD thus begun in me, will never Die: No Death can Ever Extinguish it!
