So, Beloved, you know, this is the property of finceritie, to have a [in– gle eye, to have the heartfet vpon one object,to looke to God alone; If a man doe fo, the _heart is fi ncere, and he that lookes upon God alone, he mufi needs doe it with all diligence: whenfoever a man mindes one thing, he will doe it with all his might, becaufe all the f?cul, ties, the intentions,the thoughts, and affections ofthe foule, they are then concentricall,and uni- . red, and drawne together into one point, they are frill running in one channell; And therefore aman that ha~h a fincere heart, that·choofeth Godalone; that faith thus with himfelfe, I have but one Mafiertoferve, I have but onetofeare I have Godalone to looke to, my b-ufineffi:' is .with him in Heaven, I rhinke him to bee· AU– fo.fficimt,and an exceeding great reward: I fay, this refolution will alway accompany fuc~ a heart, that he ferves him with all diligence: If Z z there Theintention · isdivi4ed, whc-nthingi ate done re· mi!fely. ~ f ' f
