Better cross our own Humours than God's Spirit For he tells us better pluck and cut our Eyes and Feet of Lusts off than go to Hell CHAP. II. 1 LET Men hold to the Word in Dispute with Satan as Christ and Michael did he will be weary and go away 2 Look from one end of Heaven to the other and see if ever any Man trusting in God was disappointed 3 Every Soul in going to Prayer ought to say to all sublunary things as Abraham said to his Servants Stand you here while I go worship yonder 4 We must not think to bring any good to the Promises but go to them for all good 5 O precious Faith which brings all good with it Grace here and Glory hereafter 6 It is an infallible mark of Regeneration to have the cruelty of our Natures taken away 7 He that refuses Works of Mercy to those in need is a Miser 8 The Word is sweeter to the Godly than Honey from the Comb and dearer to him than thousands of Gold and Silver 9 As a Godly Man said at Death If he were not going to the Fountain he would be sorry to leave such Streams as the Promises 10 No Man can love a Saint as a Saint but a Saint 11 The Doctrine of Christ is preached to many but the Power thereof but extended to a few 12 That Man is holy and harmless who when opportunity of Revenge to his Enemy is offer'd yet forbears David to Saul 13 It is a sign of a woful Estate when our Tongues and Hearts are set on Mischief on small Matters 14 No Man is turned to God but he loves the Society he formerly hated 15 A Heart set upon Brawling and Raging is void of Comfort 16 He may be sure of the Remission of his sins who is released from the Bondage of sin 17 He that

to the Devil here it is a token we shall live with him hereafter and if we live to God here that we shall live with him hereafter 57 If bad Tongues could make Men ill then many a good Man would be in evil taking 58 Many Men while disputing what to do in the mean time neglect the thing they ought to do without dispute 59 To maintain my Opinion because it is my own I think it my Folly but to

says he ought not to eat yea but to suffer Hunger the Rain drops through his Roof and his Vineyard is overgrown with Nettles 63 It is a wilful Error to chuse to be solitary when there is a holy and wholly consent of good Company 64 This is the difference between Saints and Hypocrites in Grace the one the Motion the other the Notion the one the Expression the other the Experience the one reads and hears the other tastes and feels 65 The Ox or the Swine crying under the Hand of the Butcher I have seen the rest come for their relief O then how ought Christians to love relieve and sympathize one with another under the hands of Persecutors 66 Every Sin is a turning from God but no Sins in his own can be a Farewel to God for he will bring them back with Stripes and Rods. 67 The Heart is to

unerring Wisdom of God and limited by the Almighty Power 70 Sleep is a short Death and Death is a long Sleep 71 It should be the Voice of every Soul Lord what wilt thou have me to do 72 There is no

if Grace prevent not No sooner a Sinner but a Satan 76 All Apostacy from Goodness is a spice of the Devil 77 The height of Holiness is not only to do Good but to oppose Evil. 78 It is the Duty of a Christian to be as full of Malice against the Devil as the Devil is against him 79 Tho' the Devil roars about yet he is in a double Chain of Justice being under the Wrath and Eye of God 80 They who
