There must be this Good Fruit of what you hear; That every Thing which appears to the Light of GOD within you, an Evil Thing, must be Abominable to you: You must Abhor it, Avoid it, wish and seek to be delivered from it: Count a Deliverance from it, preferable to all the Comfortable Things of this World.

There must be this Good Fruit of what you hear; That it must be your main Intention to Render and Procure Acknowledgements to GOD; and the Service of GOD must be the chief End of your Actions, the chief Sweet of your Enjoyments. You must behave yourselves as having the Eye of GOD always upon you: Do Justice, and love Mercy, and walk humbly with your GOD: Abound in Devotions to GOD, and in Benignities to Men. Every Day be in the Fear of the Lord all the Day long; Every where do as you would be done unto.
