Holy practice is the most decisive evidence of the reality of our repentance. "Bring forth fruits meet for repentance." - Jonathan Edwards

Resolved, always to do that, which I shall wish I had done when I see others do it.

The soul of a true christian, as I then wrote my meditations, appeared like such a little white flower as we see in the spring of the year; low and humble on the ground, opening its bosom to receive the pleasant beams of the sun’s glory; rejoicing, as it were, in a calm rapture; diffusing around a sweet fragrancy; standing peacefully and lovingly, in the midst of other flowers round about; all in like manner opening their bosoms to drink in the light of the sun.

To mark all that I say in conversation, merely to beget in others, a good opinion of myself, and examine it.
