III. Fidelity in the continual examen, or vigilance over ones self, Which nei∣ther allows nor pardons in ones self, any naturall satisfaction Whatever, consists,

1. IN watching over our senses, to cut off thence, all ill, unprofita∣ble, human, or even but meerly na∣turall satisfactions.

2. In watching over our minds, to annihilate all considerations or refle∣ctions, that are human, whether they proceed from vanity, curiosity, or impertinence.

3. In watching over our hearts, to stifle all human motions, that is to say, all over ardent, or over eager desires of any thing whatsoever, all immoderate joy, or tenderness; all fondness, all relish or satisfaction which one may take in any thing one does; all sensible pleasure that may cause a heart to live to its self. Tis in the fidelity of these three sorts of examens, that consists a perfect self-deniall, true devotion, solid ver∣tue, & all sanctity.
