• 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.

Those acts which men delight in, they necessarily incline to do.

• As a good Christian should consider every place as holy, because God is there, so he should look upon every part of his life as a matter of holiness, because it is offered unto God.

But worldly business is to be made holy unto the Lord, by being done as a service unto Him, and in conformity to His Divine will.
