fee ye likewise new creatures. From this hour let your eye be single. Whatever ye speak, or think, or do, let God be your aim, and God alone. Let your great end be to please him, in all your business, your refreshments, your re creations, your converse, as well as in religious duties. Let this be your one design. " He that hath ears to hear, let him hear." Have one intention, one desire, one hope, even that the God whom ye worship may be your God, and your All, in time and in eternity ! O be not of a double mind, think of nothing else, seek nothing else to love God and be beloved by him is enough ! Fix your eyes upon this one point, and your whole soul shall be full of light ! God will con tinually lift up the light of his countenance upon you, his Holy Spirit shall dwell in you, and shine more and more unto the perfect day. He shall purify your hearts by faith from every earthly thought and unholy affection ; he shall establish your souls with so lively a hope of his favour, as already lays hold on the prize of your high calling ; he shall fill you with peace, and joy, and love love, the brightness of his glory, the express image- of his person love which never ceaseth, never faileth, but still ex tends its vivifying flame, still goeth on con quering and to conquer, till what was a weak, blind, wavering, sinful creature shall be filled with all the fulness of God, and worship in his presence when time shall be no more !
