I Make It My Rule,

There Are Two Sorts Of Hypocrites: Ones That Are Deceived With Their Outward Morality And External Religion; And The Others Are Those That Are Deceived With False Discoveries And Elevation; Which Often Cry Down Works, And Men's Own Righteousness, And Tlak Much Of Free Grace, But At The Same Time Make A Righteousness Of Their Discoveries And Of Their Humiliation, And Exalt Themselves To Heaven With Them.

Resolved, Never To Count That A Prayer, Nor To Let That Pass As A Prayer, Nor That As A Petition Of A Prayer, Which Is So Made, That I Cannot Hope That God Will Answer It; Nor That As A Confession, Which I Cannot Hope God Will Accept.

It Is Not By Telling People About Ourselves That We Demonstrate Our Christianity. Words Are Cheap. It Is By Costly, Self-denying Christian Practice That We Show The Reality Of Our Faith.

The End Of The Creation Is That The Creation Might Glorify [god]. Now What Is Glorifying God, But A Rejoicing At That Glory He Has Displayed?

Resolved, Never To Do Anything Which I Should Be Afraid To Do If It Were The Last Hour Of My Life.
