1. Remember that the commencement of the Christian life is to be like the "dawning light, which increaseth more and more to the perfect day." Therefore when the hope of peace and pardon dawns in the heart, do not consider the great business of life as _accomplished_, but only as _begun_.
2. Keep up as great a strife and earnestness in religion, as if you knew yourself to be in a state of nature. When persons are under conviction of sin, they are advised to be earnest and violent for the kingdom of heaven. You ought not to be less in earnest now, if you wish not to lose a sweet and lively sense of spiritual things.
