The Covetous Man Feareth Not God. This Also Is Plain From The Word Because It Setteth Covetousness And The Fear Of God In Direct Opposition. Men That Fear God Are Said To Hate Covetousness, Exod. Xviii. 21. Besides The Covetous Man Is Called An Idolater And Is Said To Have No Part In The Kingdom Of Christ And Of God, Col. Iii. 5. And Again; 'the Wicked Boasteth Of His Heart's Desire And Blesseth The Covetous Whom The Lord Abhorreth,' Psa. X. 3.

Humility Is The Light Of The Understanding.

To Lay Hold Of And Receive The Gospel By A True And Saving Faith Is An Act Of The Soul That Has Been Made A New Creature, Which Is The Workmanship Of God... Wherefore Whoever Receiveth The Grace That Is Tendered In The Gospel, They Must Be Quickened By The Power Of God, Their Eyes Must Be Opened, Their Understandings Illuminated, Their Ears Unstopped, Their Hearts Circumcised, Their Wills Also Rectified, And The Son Of God Revealed In Them.

A Tender Heart Is A Wakeful, Watchful Heart. It Watches Against Sin In The Soul, Sin In The Family, Sin In The Calling, Sin In Spiritual Duties And Performances.

Thou Art Beaten That Thou Mayest Be Better.
