to_o be_v very_o constant_a and_o diligent_a in_o the_o use_n of_o those_o mean_n which_o the_o gospel_n have_v prescribe_v for_o a_o qualification_n for_o heaven_n be_v not_o a_o fit_a but_o a_o

for_o private_a devotion_n with_o serious_a application_n of_o mind_n let_v we_o every_o day_n look_v over_o and_o examine_v well_o our_o account_n between_o god_n and_o our_o own_o soul_n this_o be_v a_o excellent_a expedient_a to_o make_v short_a reckon_n at_o last_v he_o that_o make_v even_o with_o god_n every_o day_n by_o repentance_n be_v every_o night_n qualify_v for_o heaven_n and_o have_v but_o one_o day_n to_o account_v for_o when_o ever_o he_o die_v read_v some_o part_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n digest_v it_o well_o by_o meditation_n this_o supply_v the_o soul_n with_o its_o

and_o devilish_a in_o their_o proper_a season_n public_a ordinance_n be_v to_o be_v due_o attend_v and_o more_o solemn_a time_n of_o self-examination_n fix_v but_o i_o lay_v the_o great_a stress_n of_o religion_n upon_o those_o private_a daily_a performance_n in_o the_o neglect_n of_o these_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o be_v religious_a in_o earnest_n and_o keep_v up_o a_o true_a spirit_n of_o devotion_n it_o be_v difficult_a to_o persuade_v to_o these_o but_o they_o be_v once_o secure_v the_o rest_n will_v easy_o follow_v the_o gospel-mean_n be_v not_o empty_a dead_a ceremony_n like_o
