Resolved!
(Jonathan Edwards, "Resolutions")
Resolved, never to lose one moment of
time; but
to improve it the most profitable way I possibly can.
Resolved, to maintain the strictest
temperance
in eating and drinking.
Resolved, never henceforward, until I die,
to
act as if I were any way my own; but entirely
and altogether God's.
Resolved, to endeavor to my utmost to act as
I think I would do, if I had already seen the
happiness of heaven, and the torments of hell.
