And why Because you hated Knowledge and did not chuse the Fear of the LORD You would have none of my Counsel but despised all my Corrections therefore shall you Eat of the Fruit of your own ways and be filled with your own Devices For Ease slayeth the foolish and the Prosperity of Fools destroyeth them but they that obey Me saith the LORD shall dwell safely and be quiet from the fear of Evil Prov. 1. Chap. Therefore consider these things all you that forget GOD least I tear you in pieces and there be none to deliver you saith the LORD But O Queen live for ever The way for the Queen to obtain this Everlasting and Eternal Life is to watch against the Evil of her own Heart for so the LORD commands saying Watch Watch Watch which He fulfill'd before He gave it out to others when He was led into the Wilderness and there thrice tempted as the Apostle said He was in all things tempted as we are yet without sin that He might be able to succour us that are tempted For this know O Queen it is no sin to be tempted but the sin is to yield to the temptation as saith the Prophet When sinners inticeth thee consent not thou unto them therefore the LORD commanded to make the Defence strong double your VVatch yea treble your VVatch and saith the Prophet A threefold Cord cannot easily be broken O how good is the LORD to give us these Heavenly Precepts and not only so but to be our Strength in weakness Thou hast covered our Heads in the Day of Battle when the Enemy hath come in like a Flood Thou hast lifted up Thy Standard against him Glory he unto Thee for ever Thus hath the LORD stood by them that fear him in all Ages to be their Preserver from the Snares and Temptations of the Devil but then they must be found in His VVay otherwise He is not engaged to preserve them The VVay of Christ is His daily CROSS You cannot be my Disciples siath He Except you deny your selves and take up My Cross and follow Me VVhether must we follow Him Through all the Travels of his Soul as Isaiah the Prophet prophesied of him saying He shall see of the Travel of his Soul His righteous Soul shall be satisfied and in vain is all your Preaching Hearing Praying and Praising out of his Holy Pure and Incorruptible Life And further of his Life you may read in Isaiah's Prophesy of Him how He was a Man of Sorrows and was well
