Be careful and watch in prayers, and humble thyself in all things.

Chap. XXV.
In what things the firm peace of the heart
and true progress doth consist.

1. Son, I have said, Peace I leave to you, my peace I give to you: not as the world giveth, do I give to you. John xiv.

Peace is what all desire; but all care not for those things which appertain to true peace.

My peace is with the humble and meek of heart: thy peace shall be in much patience.

If thou wilt hear me, and follow my voice, thou mayest enjoy much peace.

2. What then shall I do. Lord?

3. In every thing attend to thyself, what thou art doing, and what thou art saying; and direct thy whole intention to this, that thou mayest please me alone, and neither desire nor seek any thing out of me.
