By having a low and mean opinion of your self under all that you possess and enjoy 1. By being content with your condition Some cannot live unless they abound and therefore murmur and complain when they do not Proud Beggars will have the best or nothing but be you content with what you have looking upon Aliud est undè vivas aliud undè superbias every little thing received as great and every great thing as too much You cannot have so little as you deserve and therefore how low soever your condition is let your mind be lower 2. By having a low and mean opinion of your self under all that you possess and enjoy Indeed there is nothing you can have that can reasonably afford any matter for Pride Not Riches Not Silks and Furrs the cast Clothes of Worms and dead Beasts for as they are badges of Spiritual Nakedness and coverings of shame the fruit of sin they afford greater matter of Humility than Pride Not Gold and Silver the more Ni●idius lu●um refined Dirt and Garbage of the Earth these are the food of Moths and Rust and therefore no food for Pride Not Knowledge for Scio quod nescio Socrates Nesciendo scire sciendo nescire Gregory it is but imperfect in any the greatest part of what you know is the least part of what you know not and therefore you should by not knowing know and by knowing not know the gift that is in you It will be from Ignorance of your Ignorance if you become proud of your Knowledge Not Grace for it is given to teach Humility God gives Grace to the humble and Grace gives Humility and the more any have of it the more humble they will be Moses acknowledges that he was but dust and ashes the weakest and vilest part of the Earth Jacob that he was unworthy Gen. 18. 27. 32. 10. 1 Tim. 1. 15. 1 Cor. 15. 9.

As to Time If you would seriously consider how precious a thing Time is how much it is sooner or later prized by all how high they are in God's esteem that improve their time for they are highest in his esteem that make most account of his Soveraignty how happy some are while living in the Comfort they receive by it How many when dying would give all the World if they had it to give and it would be taken as a price to redeem the time that in Life they vainly spent and trifled away How many are tormented in Hell and will be eternally so for the neglect and abuse of it How infinitely short the whole time of Life well spent will fall of the Reward that attends it How much mispent time there is and will be in your best spent time How short and uncertain your time is and how strict an account you must give of it you would see great reason to take care that no part of it be spent either in sin or idleness 1. Not in sin Sin is an evil of the greatest Malignity and all time spent in it is lost for If it is not bewail'd and repented of it will ruine you and if it is yet the time so spent is lost in that it might have been better employ'd cannot be recalled for though Repentance will bring sorrow for sin yet it can never bring back the time lost by it nor ever by you be answer'd for You can never give a good account of a bad matter 2. Not in Idleness for Idleness is both a sin and an inlet to any or all sin 1. It is a sin Idleness was not allowed in Innocency Gen. 2. 15.

It is an in-let to sin Empty Stomacks gather Wind standing Waters putrifie Weeds grow most in a fallow and out of Idleness comes not onely no good but all evil for by doing nothing you will easily be led to do that which is worse than nothing Christ called his Disciples Mat. 18. 19. Mark 1. 16 17. 2 Sam. 11. 2 3 4. James and John Simon and Andrew when busie at their Calling but the Devil will call you as he did David when idle and not employ'd and therefore be never so that you may not be at leisure to hearken to him if you do not set your self on work the Devil will and therefore at all times do it that he at any time may not The rolling stone gathers no Moss Quantò magìs occupatum Diabolus invenit tantò minùs occupat Idleness will render you displeasing to
