In the church, be careful to serve God; for thou art in his eyes, and
not in man's.

Thou mayst hear sermons often, and do well in practising what thou
hearest; but thou must not expect to be told in a pulpit all that thou
oughtest to do, but be studious in reading the Scriptures, and other
good books; what thou hearest may be forgotten, but what thou readest
may better be retained.

Forsake not the public worship of God, lest God forsake thee; not only
in public, but in private.

On the week-day, when thou risest in the morning, consider, 1. Thou
must die; 2. Thou mayst die that minute; 3. What will become of thy
soul. Pray often. At night consider, 1. What sins thou hast
committed; 2. How often thou hast prayed; 3. What hath thy mind been
bent upon; 4. What hath been thy dealing; 5. What thy conversation;
6. If thou callest to mind the errors of the day, sleep not without a
confession to God, and a hope of pardon. Thus, every morning and
evening make up thy account with Almighty God, and thy reckoning will
be the less at last.

OF THE LOVE OF THE WORLD.

Nothing more hinders a soul from coming to Christ than a vain love of
the WORLD; and till a soul is freed from it, it can never have a true
love for God.
