Limit the workings of thy soul that the world may have no more o● thy thoughts and time then needs must 5. Spiritualize the operations of thy mind and extract heavenly and divin● meditations out of thy employments out of fit objects 5. Look carefully to thy senses especially make a Covenant with thy eyes as Job did Chap. 31.1 and pray with David that God would turn away thy eyes from beholding vanity Psal 119.37 There is a quick passage from the eye to the heart A Christian should not let his eyes fly at random Consider 1. The eye is a sense of the greatest extent and latitude it beholds all on earth and reaches even to heaven 2. It is a sense above all others most frequently and constantly exercised 3. It works more immediately and strongly upon the heart and fancy 4. It is a sense above all others most easily induced to sin to wantonness and vanity to injustice and oppression to covetousness and idolatry Pride and Envy dwell in the eye Ezek. 23.16 Prov. 6.17 Prov. 23.33 Jer. 22.17 Josh 7.21 Ezek. 6.9 Ch. 20.24 5. It is a most noble Sense God hath provided noble objects for it and therefore O Christian young or old look t● thy eyes every day give not indulgenc● and liberty to them There is a promis● made to this Isa 33.15 he that shut his eyes from seeing evil shall not dwe● with everlasting burning Remembe● Gods eye is alwayes upon thee and h● that rules his heart will easily rule hi● eys he that doth not look to his eye● it is a great sign he never looked well t● his heart Heaven it self is reserved fo● the eye hearing is suited to faith bu● the eye is suited for vision 6. If thou art in company take heed t● thy self that if thou canst do no good nor get no good thou mayst do no har● nor get no harm If thou at any tim● fallest into such company as there is n● likelihood to do or receive good th● business being dispatched and civilit● observed get out of that company fo● he cannot be a Christian indeed that i● not curious of his company When tho● hast conference with others speak neither falsly rashly nor vainly let thy words be few true spiritual let no filthy communication come out of your mouth Let thy speech be alwayes gracious seasoned with salt such as may minister grace to the hearers Speak of God his Word Works Ordinances with holy reverence Speak of thy self modestly and humbly of others charitably of the gifts and graces of another with joy and thankfulness of the infirmities and failings of good men speak sparingly and with a due respect to their good name Of the sins of wicked men speak not but with grief and detestation and admiration of the grace of God to thee since what is in their practise is in thy nature and who is it O man makes thee to differ It may be usefull and necessary to speak of the world and civil things But let not these things take up all thy talk If thou enquirest after news let it be to understand how it goes with Gods Church that thou mayest the better direct thy prayers for them if afflicted o● thy praises if they prosper Specially take heed of the sins of these times much speaking rash censuring prou● boasting slandering and backbiting speaking evil of dignities spreading false reports which are too much the sins of professors as prophane swearing horrible imprecations and cursings sordid flattery obscene talking scoffing and mocking at Piety are the sins of Hectors and Ranters 7. Wherever thou art at home or abroad give good examples that thou mayst not leave any stinking savour behind thee to open the mouths of the malicious to harden them in their sins and make the weak to stumble or to sad the hearts of the Godly We may be innocently chearful in company and in a journey to pass over the wearisomness of the way but let thy moderation be known to all be not prophane idle vain especially take heed to thy words and actions before Children For the heathen could say there is a great reverence due to them the seeds of goodness are soon quenched and vitious inclinations are more corroborated Let it be then thy great care in all thy wayes and actions to shew thy self a pattern of goodness labouring to adorn the Gospel of Christ holding forth the word of life in a good conversation to which purpose make it thy care to walk in the exercise of four things 1. To shew all fidelity and honesty in thy dealings The Apostle Peter would have us to have our conversation honest among the Gentiles 1 Pet. 2.12 It is a vain thing to pretend to be religious if we be not honest The Apostle Paul would have poor Servants to shew all good fidelity that they may adorn the Gospel of our Lord Jesus 2 Tit. 10. It is a wofull time when we know not where to find a faithfull man God forbid it should be said that Turks and some Papists and Quakers and common Protestants have more uprightness truth and faithfulness in their words and dealings the● those that make the highest professio● in Religion By these sins God suffers i● his honour Jesus Christ suffers and th● Gospel suffers and the Godly suffer By being faithful in your dealings you will beat the enemies of Christianity with their own weapons all the Glory they have is their justice and fidelity that they wrong no man that they will not circumvent and work upon their neighbours necessity or ignorance Now when a Christian shews such fidelity he overcomes them in that which they themselves confess to be good and all men see that if there be any thing in them praise-worthy it is to be found among true Christians with more advantage and lustre 2. Labour to evidence an humble subjection to those in Authority over us This is the Herculean Argument the Papists and other wicked men use in all ages against the Godly That they are enemies to Kings stubborn disobedient turning all things upside down It becomes then all that profess the name of Christ as far as they can to obey all the commands of Magistrates for this is the will of God Tit. 3.1 and to give ●ll lawfull demonstrations that we are not stubborn refractory persons That if any do maliciously accuse us we may be able to say with Daniel that innocency is found in us before God and that to the King we have done no hurt Dan. 6.22 3. Thou must labour for a peaceable conversation avoiding as much as you can all contentions and quarrels study●ng to be quiet and minding your own business 1 Thes 4.11 remembring the Apostles rules Heb. 12.14 follow peace with all men and holiness c. As much in you lyes live peaceably with ●ll men Rom. 12.18 have peace keep peace love peace make peace seek peace that phrase live peaceably includes all That so the wicked may say of us as the
