the_o scripture_n shall_v accompany_v prayer_n at_o least_o in_o the_o evening_n and_o let_v this_o practice_n be_v keep_v as_o a_o constant_a custom_n unless_o some_o extraordinary_a providence_n as_o sickness_n or_o the_o like_o hinder_v it_o if_o you_o begin_v this_o at_o first_o it_o will_v with_o more_o ease_n be_v continue_v till_o duty_n become_v delight_n and_o have_v taste_v the_o

advice_n that_o you_o read_v often_o good_a sound_a and_o plain_a book_n of_o practical_a godliness_n that_o be_v at_o such_o time_n as_o the_o business_n of_o your_o call_n or_o trade_n do_v admit_v and_o tell_v each_o other_o of_o what_o good_a book_n you_o have_v read_v and_o what_o good_a you_o have_v receive_v by_o they_o but_o especial_o on_o the_o lord_n day_n in_o the_o vacancy_n of_o public_a ordinance_n when_o you_o be_v not_o at_o church_n then_o shall_v you_o read_v and_o not_o only_o read_v but_o also_o encourage_v one_o another_o in_o a_o holy_a practice_n of_o such_o good_a thing_n as_o the_o scripture_n teach_v and_o other_o good_a book_n set_v before_o you_o according_a to_o the_o holy_a scripture_n remember_v that_o if_o the_o husband_n can_v read_v and_o have_v a_o wife_n that_o can_v to_o account_v her_o worthy_a of_o double_a honour_n and_o if_o possible_a of_o double_a love_n on_o that_o account_n but_o let_v that_o wife_n beware_v she_o be_v not_o puff_v up_o to_o despise_v her_o husband_n but_o know_v that_o she_o may_v yet_o learn_v of_o he_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o judgement_n and_o understanding_n 1_o cor._n 14.35_o she_o must_v not_o think_v

wife_n can_v read_v and_o have_v a_o husband_n that_o can_v let_v she_o prize_v he_o the_o more_o on_o that_o account_n as_o a_o great_a treasure_n with_o who_o she_o may_v have_v the_o comfort_n of_o a_o christian_a conversation_n according_a to_o knowledge_n and_o live_v together_o as_o heir_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o life_n 1_o pet._n 3.7_o if_o neither_o can_v read_v than_o you_o have_v need_n be_v more_o diligent_a
to_o spend_v such_o time_n of_o leisure_n in_o holy_a and_o enliven_a discourse_n consider_v each_o other_o estate_n as_o in_o the_o respect_n of_o your_o soul_n and_o call_v on_o one_o another_o that_o both_o together_o may_v call_v on_o the_o lord_n and_o if_o neither_o can_v read_v it_o be_v further_o advisable_v that_o you_o endeavour_v to_o get_v acquaintance_n and_o familiarity_n with_o some_o godly_a christian_a neighbour_n that_o can_v read_v whither_o you_o may_v often_o go_v and_o spend_v the_o evening_n especial_o before_o child_n come_v on_o to_o hinder_v not_o to_o waste_v time_n as_o the_o worldly_a custom_n be_v to_o talk_v of_o news_n you_o little_o understand_v or_o of_o the_o affair_n of_o the_o town_n or_o parish_n that_o little_a or_o nothing_o concern_v you_o but_o to_o desire_v they_o to_o read_v some_o portion_n of_o the_o scripture_n or_o other_o good_a book_n to_o help_v you_o in_o the_o great_a concern_v of_o your_o soul_n or_o if_o your_o business_n in_o the_o world_n be_v such_o as_o admit_v of_o take_v apprentice_n or_o servant_n labour_v to_o have_v such_o as_o can_v read_v they_o may_v on_o that_o account_n be_v of_o more_o advantage_n to_o the_o family_n than_o their_o bodily_a labour_n and_o this_o i_o always_o look_v upon_o as_o duty_n that_o if_o servant_n can_v read_v you_o endeavour_v that_o they_o may_v be_v teach_v and_o if_o they_o can_v read_v it_o be_v your_o duty_n to_o keep_v they_o to_o read_v at_o fit_a time_n and_o it_o be_v prudence_n so_o to_o do_v as_o it_o be_v profitable_a to_o yourselves_o and_o family_n i_o shall_v conclude_v these_o two_o last_o advice_n with_o a_o caution_n which_o i_o hint_v before_o that_o you_o be_v not_o ashamed_a of_o weakness_n and_o inability_n in_o private_a before_o each_o other_o either_o in_o respect_n of_o read_v or_o pray_v i_o mean_v not_o to_o neglect_v these_o private_a duty_n because_o you_o think_v you_o can_v do_v they_o well_o enough_o &_o therefore_o do_v not_o do_v they_o at_o all_o because_o one_o shall_v not_o take_v notice_n how_o weak_a or_o ignorant_a the_o other_o be_v this_o oftentimes_o be_v a_o snare_n and_o great_a occasion_n of_o neglect_n and_o if_o not_o careful_o avoid_v may_v make_v all_o the_o advice_n here_o offer_v to_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n if_o you_o suffer_v this_o sinful_a bashfulness_n to_o hinder_v the_o beginning_n or_o set_v about_o the_o work_n till_o you_o think_v yourselves_o better_a fit_v and_o more_o able_a satan_n and_o your_o own_o evil_a heart_n will_v be_v ready_a to_o suggest_v this_o often_o as_o a_o mean_n to_o promote_v delay_n and_o so_o it_o be_v make_v too_o often_o a_o continual_a hindrance_n but_o to_o prevent_v this_o if_o possible_a i_o propose_v these_o consideration_n 1._o first_o consider_v that_o marriage_n have_v now_o make_v you_o one_o flesh_n there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o be_v ashamed_a of_o do_v your_o duty_n though_o you_o perform_v it_o but_o weak_o because_o you_o ought_v in_o justice_n to_o think_v that_o so_o near_o a_o relation_n as_o part_v of_o yourself_o will_v not_o despise_v but_o rather_o pity_n and_o help_v as_o one_o flesh_n and_o as_o they_o ought_v will_v cover_v with_o the_o robe_n of_o love_n the_o infirmity_n that_o possible_o may_v be_v discover_v because_o now_o that_o which_o be_v the_o shame_n or_o disgrace_n of_o one_o reflect_v on_o the_o other_o and_o so_o become_v the_o disgrace_n of_o both_o and_o for_o one_o to_o despise_v the_o other_o be_v to_o dishonour_v themselves_o and_o none_o ever_o yet_o so_o hate_v his_o own_o flesh_n two_o member_n of_o the_o same_o body_n may_v be_v touch_v with_o grief_n for_o the_o weakness_n of_o each_o other_o but_o not_o with_o shame_n but_o rather_o help_v and_o bear_v the_o more_o of_o the_o burden_n if_o either_o be_v weak_a so_o the_o poor_a beast_n draw_v in_o the_o same_o yoke_n be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o help_v though_o not_o so_o strong_a as_o their_o fellow_n so_o though_o thou_o be_v sensible_a that_o thou_o can_v not_o do_v as_o thou_o will_v yet_o do_v this_o duty_n as_o well_o as_o thou_o can_v and_o be_v not_o ashamed_a for_o it_o be_v thy_o duty_n 2._o second_o consider_v what_o great_a folly_n it_o be_v to_o pretend_v to_o be_v ashamed_a to_o do_v thy_o duty_n because_o thou_o can_v do_v it_o but_o weak_o and_o therefore_o to_o leave_v it_o undo_v when_o thou_o be_v not_o ashamed_a of_o thy_o sin_n in_o neglect_v such_o plain_a and_o necessary_a duty_n which_o tend_v so_o much_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n thy_o interest_n in_o christ_n for_o thy_o soul_n good_a and_o be_v so_o chief_n a_o part_n of_o christian_a love_n to_o thy_o yoke-fellow_n let_v conscience_n tell_v thou_o which_o be_v worst_a to_o do_v duty_n willing_o and_o sincere_o though_o weak_o or_o to_o let_v it_o alone_o undo_v sure_o that_o be_v shame_n indeed_o 3._o consider_v that_o it_o be_v only_a want_n of_o use_n and_o exercise_v in_o this_o duty_n that_o make_v you_o bashful_a and_o therefore_o you_o be_v loath_a to_o begin_v but_o if_o you_o will_v begin_v and_o master_v those_o first_o reluctancy_n you_o will_v find_v that_o practice_n will_v make_v you_o daily_o both_o bold_a and_o able_a 4._o this_o pretend_a shame_n and_o bashfulness_n will_v be_v a_o continual_a hindrance_n till_o you_o begin_v this_o will_v make_v you_o draw_v back_o when_o convince_v of_o duty_n and_o satan_n will_v hold_v this_o argument_n fast_o and_o use_v it_o long_o in_o the_o war_n against_o thy_o soul_n and_o when_o there_o be_v nothing_o else_o to_o hinder_v but_o shame_n if_o ashamed_a to_o day_n the_o same_o argument_n will_v hold_v to_o morrow_n and_o the_o like_o the_o next_o day_n and_o so_o on_o as_o a_o continual_a pretence_n for_o neglect_n till_o you_o begin_v but_o then_o no_o long_o for_o if_o once_o you_o have_v begin_v shame_n be_v break_v and_o trouble_v you_o no_o more_o or_o at_o least_o but_o weak_o now_o consider_v every_o one_o have_v a_o beginning_n and_o beginning_n in_o all_o be_v usual_o weak_a in_o respect_n of_o after_o improvement_n and_o performance_n be_v not_o then_o long_o ashamed_a to_o begin_v it_o be_v god_n command_v the_o necessity_n of_o both_o your_o sou's_fw-mi require_v christ_n have_v prepare_v the_o way_n heb._n 10.19_o therefore_o put_v on_o boldness_n and_o you_o will_v grow_v more_o able_a and_o find_v more_o comfort_n adu._n 5._o the_o five_o advice_n i_o give_v be_v that_o you_o sanctify_v the_o sabbath_n the_o lord_n day_n join_v together_o in_o this_o at_o the_o first_o and_o take_v the_o more_o diligent_a heed_n to_o do_v this_o because_o you_o can_v but_o observe_v that_o it_o be_v general_o too_o much_o neglect_v notwithstanding_o that_o plain_a command_n of_o god_n ex._n 20.8_o therefore_o as_o god_n have_v set_v that_o day_n apart_o from_o other_o for_o himself_o and_o command_v you_o to_o do_v so_o also_o do_v you_o set_v that_o day_n apart_o to_o be_v spend_v by_o you_o in_o the_o spiritual_a business_n of_o god_n and_o your_o soul_n and_o if_o you_o know_v that_o either_o have_v neglect_v before_o marriage_n than_o you_o have_v the_o more_o need_n to_o deal_v faithful_o in_o warn_v one_o another_o and_o tell_v each_o other_o plain_o of_o the_o sin_n in_o that_o particular_a especial_o if_o you_o have_v be_v the_o occasion_n to_o one_o another_o of_o neglect_v the_o sabbath_n this_o too_o often_o be_v the_o sin_n of_o people_n of_o a_o mean_a or_o low_a condition_n though_o not_o of_o those_o only_a that_o make_v their_o woo_a visit_n appoint_v
