A FEW WORDS OF COUNSEL AND ADVICE TO ALL The Sons and Daughters of MEN More Especially to the Children of Believers FROM The Motion of Gods Spirit upon my Heart in the Love of God that they may come to lead the course of their Lives in this World so as to lay down their Heads in Peace with the Lord when time in this World shall be no more LONDON Printed in the Year 1687. A few Words of Counsel and Advice to all the Sons and Daughters of Men c. 1. ADvice to Children that they learn the Fear of the Lord and then they will hate Pride and Arrogancy and every evil way and then they will be in a capacity to seek after the way of the Lord which is found of them that seek after it which blessed be God many have found and do walk in it and do find peace as they continue walking therein to their immortal Souls The beginning of all the Sons and Daughters of Men should be to learn the Fear of the Lord which is the beginning of Wisdom and to depart from Iniquity that 's a good understanding but to the Grief of my heart I often see instead hereof they learn Wantonness Pride Arrogancy and every evil way And take pleasure in walking in the broad Way which leadeth to destruction altho the Lord by his Light and Grace hath appeared to teach them To deny Vngodliness and Worldly Lust and to live Godlily Righteously and Soberly in this present evil World the which maketh the hearts of many sad when we see after our often Endeavours and Labours we have bestowed how ineffectual it is to some Children of whom we had hopes concerning them in their minority when very young that they might have continued as Paterns and Examples to them that might follow them of good But by reason of the liberty they run into for to gratifie the fleshly mind we are afraid we have bestowed much labour in vain upon many of them therefore a word in my heart to Caution all to be wise and consider their latter End and be entreated to mind and not slight the love of God to their Souls that the Lord should raise up your Parents that they might be a kind of First-fruits unto God in whom the Lord hath vouchsafed to place His Name amongst and hath made it Honourable Oh prize the great love of God to them and to you herein that you have had not only Nursing Fathers and Mothers for your Bodies but for your Souls also Oh the sorrow and trouble that 's come upon many to see their Childrens minds lifted up after vanity they being departed in a large measure from the Grace of God. Oh be awakened I beseech you Why will ye Die The wages of Sin is Death Oh be entreated to break off from your Sins by a timely Repentance Let none say I am Young and after I am more grown in years I shall leave off those superfluous things and incline to be more sober I warn all to have a care how they make these delayed Proposals lest to their wo and misery it proves to be to all Eternity For can the Ethiopian change his Skin or the Leopard his Spots No more can they do well who are accustomed to do Evil. This is written in true love to the Souls of young People that are in the motions of sin to exhort and entreat them to Repent of their misdeeds and to cease to do Evil and to learn to do well and then they may draw near unto God and the Lord hath promised he will draw near unto such and then life to your Souls you 'l come to witness And here you will come to receive from God life to your immortal Souls As many as comes to witness this never had cause to repent that forsook the Worlds Fashions Customs and Traditions For such have received an hundred fold in this life and they have Faith in the Promise of our Lord Jesus Christ who hath promised everlasting Life also Therefore young People be entreated to lay aside the sin of Pride For as out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh so by the Immodesty Pride and Costliness of Habit people weareth their hearts appear For the Tree is known by its Fruit Therefore let none seek to cover their sins for they that do will never prosper This is in a few words to warn all young People to Flee from the wrath to come For it will be more tollerable for those that were the Children of Unbelieving Parents who knew not the Truth as it is in Jesus when you must come to give an account to the Lord of the deeds done in the Body Oh Consider consider the Lords love to your Souls the Lord hath given you warning after warning from his People but many hardned their Hearts and will not hear reproof Oh that you that are Children of Believing Parents may become clean Vessels fit to receive and hold the heavenly Treasure And you that are believing Parents may not be wanting to bring up your Children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord and giving good Example Much I could write my heart being opened by the Lord but a word to the wise is sufficient but consider the many warnings you have had of late The Ground that the Rain oft descends upon and yet bringeth fourth nothing but Bryars and Thorns Oh consider what is said to be the end of it This I have cast in as a ●ittle Mite who am a Traveller for the prosperity of Sion and that Jerusalem may become the praise of the whole Earth Blessed are all the Sons and Daughters of men that are come to love the Lord with all their Hearts and to hate Pride and Arrogancy and every evil way and that cometh to love the Law of God written in their hearts And whose hearts are inclined to keep it and are found Meditating in it Day and Night These are they that the Lord causeth to grow and prosper and are blessed in all their Vndertakings And such are Trees of Righteousness the planting of the Lord and they bring forth much fruit to the Praise and Glory of the Name of the Lord whose Name is worthy to be exalted over all for ever Written the 20th day of the First Month 1686 / 7.
