RELIGION is not ours till we live by it, till it is the Religion of our thoughts, words and actions; till it goes with us into every place, sits uppermost on every occasion, and forms and governs our hopes and fears, our cares and pleasures. He is the religious man who watches and guards his spirit, and endeavours to be always in the temper of Religion. who worships GOD in every place by a purity of behaviour, who is as fearful of foolish thoughts, irregular tempers and vain imaginations at one time as at another, who is as wise, and heavenly at home, or in the field, as in the house of GOD.
