Since Holiness Is The Main Thing That Excites, Draws, And Governs All Gracious Affections, It Is No Wonder That All Such Affections Tend To Holiness. That Which Men Love, They Desire To Have And To Be United To, And Possessed Of. That Beauty Which Men Delight In, They Desire To Be Adorned With. Those Acts Which Men Delight In, They Necessarily Incline To Do.

But Yet It Is Evident That Religion Consists So Much In Affection, As That Without Holy Affection There Is No True Religion; And No Light In The Understanding Is Good Which Does Not Produce Holy Affection In The Heart: No Habit Or Principle In The Heart Is Good Which Has No Such Exercise; And No External Fruit Is Good Which Does Not Proceed From Such Exercises.

Religion Consists Much In Holy Affection; But Those Exercises Of Affection Which Are Most Distinguishing Of True Religion Are These Practical Exercises. Friendship Between Earthly Friends Consists Much In Affection; But Those Strong Exercises Of Affection That Actually Carry Them Through Fire And Water For Each Other Are The Highest Evidences Of True Friendship.

The Godly Are Designed For Unknown And Inconceivable Happiness.

We Are Dependent On God's Power Through Every Step Of Our Redemption.
