Art thou resolved, in the Strength of Christ, to set upon the conscientious Practice of every Duty that thou findest to be there required of thee, and to set against every Sin that thou findest there forbidden? This is the Way to be found in God's Statutes, that thou mayest never be ashamed, Psalm 119.80. 3dly, Observe the special Duties that thy Heart is most against, and the special Sins it is most inclined to; and see whether it be truly resolved to perform the one, and forego the other. What sayest thou to thy Bosom-sin, thy gainful Sin? What sayest thou to costly and hazardous, and Flesh displeasing Duties? If thou haltest here, and dost not resolve, by the Grace of God, to cross thy Flesh, and put to it, thou art unsound, Psal. 18.23. and 119.6.
