Bare knowing and continuous mindfulness

I would be grateful for any suttas referring to ‘bare knowing and continuous mindfulness’ as per the refrain in the Satipatthana sutta. Thanks in advance. Richard.

Bare awareness is also known as sense restraint, and is the first of the four great endeavours of right effort. The main description of it in the suttas occurs at AN 4.14. Remembering it is the first right effort, it is therefore practised in coordination with the other three:

(1) “And what, bhikkhus, is striving by restraint? Here, having seen a form with the eye, a bhikkhu does not grasp its marks and features. Since, if he left the eye faculty unrestrained, bad unwholesome states of longing and dejection might invade him, he practices restraint over it, he guards the eye faculty, he undertakes the restraint of the eye faculty. Having heard a sound with the ear … Having smelled an odor with the nose … Having tasted a taste with the tongue … Having felt a tactile object with the body … Having cognized a mental phenomenon with the mind, a bhikkhu does not grasp its marks and features. Since, if he left the mind faculty unrestrained, bad unwholesome states of longing and dejection might invade him, he practices restraint over it, he guards the mind faculty, he undertakes the restraint of the mind faculty. This is called striving by restraint."

MN 2 (method 2) refers to restraint again in association with other methods.
