Mat. 18.3 Heh 12.14 Be much with God in Religious duties Secret praying reading and meditating are great helps to piety The bottom of a Christians building is underground and out of the Worlds sight The greatest part of that trade which a Saint drives with God is unseen and his returns are unknown to the world Christ giveth his sweetest kisses and dearest embraces to his Spouse when she is alone Jacob met with the blessing when he had parted with his company and wrastled singly with the Angel of the Covenant Bread eaten in secret how sweet is it When God meeteth thy soul in a morning or evening prayer communion with his Majestie will be sweet to thee indeed Take heed of omission of duties in the Closet The Amalekite had not eaten in three days who was nigh death It is observed that the places under the Line are not so hot as some places at a further distance because though they have the beams of the sun falling perpendicularly to cause a more intense heat yet the nights there being longer then in some other parts the days are not so hot When the nights are long the days are very cold when there are long omissions of duties godliness will cool Ah didst thou but know what many a Saint hath gained by that hidden calling I am confident thou wouldst mind it what ever thou didst omit Remember how often and earnestly I have urged thee to this duty It is thy priviledge that though thou canst not every day have the showres of publick Ordinances yet mayst thou have the watering-pots of secret duties to make thy soul fruitful Let no day pass without thy morning and evening Sacrifices Fasting is bad for some bodies I am sure to fast from spiritual food is exceeding injurious to thy soul He that runneth into enormities as a Drunkard or Swearer or Adulterer c. he stabbeth his soul he that omiteth daily duties he starveth his soul Now what great difference is there between the death of the soul by stabbing and by starving If thy soul dye eternally it will be little comfort to thee to plead that thou didst not drink or swear as others O Friend let no day pass without secret duties if thou risest in the morning and followest thy calling all day and liest down at night and never desirest Gods company or askest his blessing I would know wherein thou dost God more service then the Ox or Ass For shame Friend do not thus play the beast any longer I have in this Treatise endeavoured to assist thee by discovering the Nature and Necessity of making Religion thy business I cannot but think that the Reasons which I have laid down for this duty will move any man who is not resolved to make himself eternally miserable It is no mean mercy that thou mayst adopt all thy natural and civil actions into the family of Religion that though like cyphers they signifie nothing of themselves yet having the figure of Godliness put before them they may signifie much and stand for thousands I shall Reader onely acquaint thee with some particulars which I treat of in the book and then leave thee and it to the blessing of God I am very large in directing thee about the immediate Worship of the Lord as knowing that is of greatest weight and worth No preparation can be too great for No devotion can be too gracious in Religious Actions Amongst many other Rites and Ceremonies of the Jews ●nt Margarit le R tibus lulaeo●um it is related that before the doors of their Synagogues they have an iron plate against which they wipe and make clean their shoes before they enter and that being entred they fit solemnly for a season not once opening their mouths but considering with whom they have to do Truly Friend it concerneth thee to be full of reverence when thou appearest solemnly in Gods presence Think of it He is a jealous God and will not be mocked they that dally with him undo themselves Serious piety will abundantly profit thee but careless service will highly provoke God Spiders cobwebs may better be suffered in a Cottage the● in a Kings Palace In the next place I proceed to Natural Actions and then to Recreations about both which thy care must be that they exceed not their bounds and that they taste and savour of Religion Mandrakes if duly taken is good physick but if immoderately it casts into a dead sleep and congeales the spirits It requireth much piety and prudence not to abuse those things whilst thou art using them Satan catcheth many a soul with these baits and then throweth them into the fire But if Religion be thy business that which is poison to others will be nourishing food to thee After these I speak to Particular Callings that they might be managed so as not to
