退回内室,保守己心
转回你们里面,进到内室,如今立定心志住在那里。你们与这工夫生疏太久了;看守别人的葡萄园太久了;只在敬虔的边缘游荡太久了。你们如今愿意更好看守自己的心吗?愿意从事务的拥挤和世界的喧嚷中出来,比从前更多退到隐密处吗?哦,愿你们就在今日立定这个心志!

Turn in upon yourselves, get into your closets, and now resolve to dwell there. You have been strangers to this work too long; you have kept other vineyards too long; you have trifled around the borders of religion too long. Will you now resolve to look better to your hearts? Will you come out of the crowds of business and clamors of the world-and retire yourselves more than you have done? Oh, that this day you would resolve upon it!
