Now some may say, But what shall we do to depart from iniquity?
I answer,
1. Labour to see the odiousness and unprofitableness thereof, which thou mayest do by the true knowledge of the excellent nature of the holiness of God. For until thou seest a beauty in holiness, thou canst not see odiousness in sin and iniquity. Danger thou mayest see in sin before, but odiousness thou canst not.
2. Be much in the consideration of the power, justice, and faithfulness of God to revenge himself on the workers of iniquity.
3. Be much in the consideration of the greatness and worth of thy soul.
4. Be often asking of thyself what true profit did I ever get by the commission of any sin.
5. Bring thy last day often to thy bedside.
6. Be often thinking of the cries and roarings of the damned in hell.
7. Be often considering the lastingness of the torments of hell.
8. Be often thinking what would those that are now in hell give that they might live their lives over again.
9. Consider often of the frailty of thy life, and that there is no repentance to be found in the grave, whither thou goest.
