1 Eyther wee are not watchful ouer our hearts, do not guard and fence them: but let them runne after the eye and other se••ses, and so through those carnall win∣dowes, occasions are offe∣red, and euill motions pre∣sented.
2 Or wee are carelesse and negligent in the medi∣tation of good things, and not allotting set times ther∣unto: not preparing our hearts to conferre familiarly with our God: and so wee
are whipt to his duety, with euill thoughts.
3 Or wee are growne formall in the matter of re∣ligion, resting in the fashi∣on and custome thereof, suf∣fering our hearts to runne after our couetousnesse, Ezech. 33.31.32. and so wee are iustly confounded in our formality, with varie∣ty of euill thoughts.
4 Or else wee take not no∣tice of Original corruption, but rather measure our E∣state by actual and outward sinnes, and so wee are pe∣stered with euill Thoughts, eyther to conuince thereof, or to draw vs to inwarde sinceritie.
5 Or wee stand vpon it, rather to doe thinges in the
sight of men, then in the presence of the Almightie; and so wee are confoun∣ded with sense of inward corruption.
6 Or wee haue neglec∣ted good and holy motions and thoughts, and therefore wee are giuen vp to be buf∣feted with euill Imaginati∣ons, and yet to set light by them.
