faithful to the God of Heaven to the Protestant Religion and the Church of England Would Men be Wise Strong Rich and Honourable Persons most Excellent Persons more Precious than Gold or the Gold of Ophir they must labour to get and to keep a Sound Heart which is the Life of the Flesh a Wholsom Tongue which is a Tree of Life and Righteous Lips which are the Delight of Kings He that Loveth Pureness of Heart for the Grace of his Lips the King will be his Friend The Heart of the Wise teacheth his Mouth and addeth Learning to his Lips The Wise in Heart shall be called Prudent and the Sweetness of the Lips Increaseth Learning The Wise shall Inherit Glory but Shame will be the Promotion of all them that do prefer the Pleasures of Sin that lasts but for a Moment above the Gain of Godliness that lasts for Ever Godliness it is great Gain and will bring Men to great Fame that be Faithful to the God of Heaven to his Annointed our Royal and Gracious Soveraign His Majesty of Great Britain to the Protestant Religion and the Church of England To Fear the God of Heaven and to Honour the King His Majesty of Great Britain it is true Religion which is taught in the Church of England There is no Place Calling or Condition that will Honour Men if that they be not Careful to Honour God and our Royal King in them For what-ever Honours and Riches that Men do get if that they do not Honour the God of Heaven and His Majesty of Great Britain their Honours and their Riches will prove uncertain and their Lives will prove uncomfortable But if that Men will do that Worthy thing as to know when and how for to Honour the God of Heaven and our Royal Soveraign His Majesty of Great Britain in this World it will bring them to great Fame and in Heaven with Holy Angels for ever to Remain If there be Joy in Heaven at the Conversion of a Sinner how much more ought there to be in the Church of England when this Sinner shall bring forth the Fruits of Righteousness for the Glory of the great and Mighty God for the Credit of his Holy Gospel for the great Honour and Renown of the Protestant Religion and for the great Exaltation of His Majesty of Great Britain which will bring great Joy and Triumph to the Church of England and great Peace and Prosperity to many Kingdoms They that would bring great Honour to the God of Heaven and to His Majesty of Great Britain must get a Sound Heart and to get a Sound Heart Men must Labour to get a Sound Faith which is more Precious then Gold and doth require more Wisdom Power and Skill to Prove it Improve it and to know when and how for to Manage it than it is to Sway a Scepter and to Rule a Kingdom and more Honour than it is to wear any Earthly Crown This I declare that no Subject whatsoever should Desire or Covet after the Growns and Scepters of Kings and Princes in this World but if that Men will Covet after a Crown let it be an Immortal one which the Righteous Judge will give to all Faithful ones for those that be Faithful to the Death he will give the Crown of Life That Crown which will never Rust when all the Glory of this World will be laid in the Dust A Sound Faith is more Precious then Gold or the Gold of Ophir because it will purifie the Foulest Heart it will in time make a mean Man Honourable a Poor Man Rich a Weak Man Strong a Sick Man Well and a Dying Man Happy which all the things in this World cannot do Divine Faith which is more Precious than Gold it is the Gift and Power of the great and mighty God it is not in the Power of any Mortal Men to give it to their Nearest and their Dearest Friend Parents cannot give it to their Children nor Ministers to their People but the Lord gives it when he will and to whom he will in the use of those Means that he has appointed and the Church of England has Ordained and that is hearing the Word of God Preached Divine Faith which is more Precious then Gold comes by Hearing but not for Hearing Hearing the Word of God is the Instrumental Cause but our Saviour is the Original Therefore he is worthy for to have the Honour and the Glory of the Actings of every Mans Faith because that he is both the Author and the Finisher of it And though it is not in the Power of all the Ministers of the Gospel in London or in England to beget a Spark of Faith where it is not yet it ought to be their great care to take notice where it is wrought and to Countenance and Encourage that Person that has it for to bring it forth because that it is such a Spark that it will in time break forth into a Flame for the Glory of Gods great Name and to put the Turk the Pope and the Devil and all the Workers of Evil to Shame and to bring His Majesty of Great Britain and the Church of England throughout the whole World to great Honour Renown and Fame And that without having a Sword in the Hand of Men or Money at Command without making a Noise about Religion without making of many Words or having the Voice much heard As Divine Faith is a High and Honourable Grace because it is the Gift and Power of the Great and Mighty God so it will Enable a Man for to prepare High and Honourable Work Pleasant Profitable and Delightsom Work Victorious Glorious and Crowning Work that will try the Wisdom and the Skill the Valour and the Courage of many Wise Strong Rich and Learned Men what they can do and what they will do in these Days of the Gospel and in the Raign of our Royal Soveraign for the great Honour and Renown of the Protestant Religion for the great Joy and Triumph of the Church of England for the great Exaltation of His Majesty of Great Britain and for the great Peace and Prosperity of many Kingdoms that so many Nations may be freed from Slavery and in the whole World there may be great Joy Peace and Prosperity Faith that is true works by Love and Love seeks not her own but the great Joy Peace and Prosperity of many a one in Court City and Countrey As the God of Heaven is a Wonder-working God a Victorious and a Glorious God so Divine Faith which is more Precious than Gold is a Wonder-working Grace a Victorious and a Glorious Grace That Grace which will Enable a Man for to set a-work the Wisdom and the Power of the God of Heaven will Enable him to set a Work the Wisdom and the Power of Martial Men Great are the Noble Acts Recorded in Holy Writ that Gods Worthies have done by the Power of Faith not by the Power of the Sword by the Power
