The great word Eternity rightly understood is a
cure for every evil and casts a Shade upon the
brightest prospects that all on this side the grave
can furnish.

Do we desire the satisfaction of knowing whether we
are under the government of the spirit of God we are to
consider whether we are led by the Spirit that is whether the
fruits & effects of that Holy Spirit appear in our lives and
conversations. If for instance we love God & endeavour
to please him to the best of our power if we love our
neighbour indeed & in truth that is doing good as well
as giving good words if we are just in all our
dealings doing to others as we would be dealt with
ourselves if we deny our own wills & resolve never
to please ourselves by displeasing God if we are
afraid of sin & keep as a distance from it if we apply
to God in all our necessities & willingly submit to what
his providence shall order for us why then we
are sure these are the fruits of the Spirit that he
abideth in us & will be with us while we continue
to walk in this way
