them as the Apple of mine Eye 51 A Christian should possess his Soul in the Patience of Hope until his Soul possess that which he hath patiently hoped for 52 As all Rivers flow from the Ocean and to the Ocean so all Graces from Christ and to Christ 53 As the Fishes cannot live without Water nor the Birds without Air no more can a Believer without Christ 54 In Affliction let us not give more eat to the Devil and Conscience accusing than to Christ and his Mercy excusing 55 Whilst some Men walk to get Stomachs for their Meat others are glad to walk to get Meat for their Stomachs 56 If we live 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 maintain my Opinion because it is Truth I think it my Wisdom 60 Let us not seek Revenge on our Enemies for if they get Grace they 'll repent and if they get Hell they 'll have more than we desire One they must get 61 No Man on Earth can be in so bad a condition but he may be in a worse that 's in Hell So let us not despair for it is the Lord's Mercy we are not consumed 62 Of the Sluggard Solomon 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 be kept with all diligence for sinful Thoughts are dangerous 68 For the Hearts of Men are so wicked as to sin on sin a thousand times over 69 All things in Heaven and Earth are disposed by the 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 trusting to any Estate whatsoever out of Christ 73 None of us left to our selves but will quite undo our selves 74 Sin spoils our Honour and Comfort at once 75 He that is wicked will be an Adversary 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 depart from God shall never find true rest in any Creature 81 Wicked Men tho' never so great are scarce worth the looking on 82 Cloisters are opener to Satan's Temptation than the open Fields 83 There is a kind of Joy amongst Devils and wicked Men when the godly Man sins 84 It is a holy Ambition to strive to excel others in Grace and Goodness 85 It is a Man's Duty when God enlighteneth and gives Joy to warble forth his Praise 86 The Groans of a contrite Heart are Musick in God's Ears and a sure Proof of his Spirit in us 87 God is a secure Rock to defend his Doves when they are hunted and persecuted 88 God bids his Servants ask and they shall have and it grieves him they do not ask 89 The Church suffers as much from Heresie and Schism as from blind and mad Heathens 90 Every faithful Soul is God's Garden and every Grace is a beauteous Lilly 91 As the Waves on the back of one another are useful to help the Ship to the Heaven of rest so are Afflictions to the Godly Man 92 A Holy Life is pleasanter to a Christian than the Sun to the Earth or Wings to a Bird. 93 The Tranquillity and Peace of a good Conscience excels all worldly Treasure 94 The Application of Christ's Blood is not only our Strength but our Glory and Protection 95 He that blesseth God in his Afflictions his Afflictions shall be a Blessing unto him 96 When a Seducer speaks Truth he doth set a Snare to catch the Truth 97 In great Strains look not so much on the present as what we were and shall be e're long and that will give content 98 Tho' Sectaries intend it not yet Antichrist and Hell have no better Agents 99 No Man's Calling must call him from God or Godliness for particular things must give way to general 100 Sun Moon and Stars Birds of the Air Fishes of the Sea Trees of the Field spread forth
