is that by the help of these mean and trifling ways so much time is gone The Fool 's Fingers are eas'd of it which will be so far from being a comfort to him that when Sickness and Death shall come it will be excessive Bitterness to consider how well so many Hours might have been employed by working out his Salvation in the Church and in the Closet To conclude all The design of this whole Discourse is to shew how much it is our Duty our Interest and our Wisdom to make a good use of our Time and what Course is proper for us to take that it may turn to very good account to our Present and Future advantage And would God we would be perswaded to consider seriously what an Important thing this is the main business indeed we should be mindful of in this Life because it is the Measure of our Lives and when Death comes 't will be equally as impossible to recal the One as it will be again to live over the Other We use to call Time the most Precious thing in the World and use to Think it such when Matters of great Consequence require quich dispatch in that case a Day an Hour a Minute is thought too valuable to be neglected lest the Loss though but of one Moment should at once defeat the Hopes and spoil all the Labours of an whole Year So that the Improvidence of many People is astonishing and unaccountable that when their very Souls lie at stake and Hell and Damnation is before them they should then only be most careless of their Time though the Case be of the Greatest Concernment and the Hazards they run be the most Fatal and the Loss that follows will most certainly be utterly Irreparable to all Eternity But the truth is Time is One of those Many Blessings which Men never so Prize as when they Want them The Sad Reflexions of a Death-Bed the Weeping Wailing and Gnashing of Teeth beyond it do plainly argue that nothing can be more Worth recalling than Time and nothing more Worth our husbanding than the Present time because when once gone it is Never to be recall'd That there may be no room for such Late Sorrows I have laid before you the most necessary and most profitable Rules I can think of how you may employ that time which is now in your Hands and in a Moral sense redeem too what is slipt Away as by Industrious Resolutions by an active and vigorous Repentance by an operative and universal Charity by caution and watchfulness every remaining day of your Life and more especially by devoting all the time you can to the Service and Worship of God which of the several Particulars hath taken up the greatest share of my Meditations because it is the Employment of Heaven it self and that which justly claimeth all possible Portions of our time here By the diligent performance of these things we may so redeem our Time as to make a great deal of a few Days and do that in one Third of one's Life which some hardly do in their whole Age though it be a long one and then is a Man's Life to good purpose For 't is not how long but how well a Man lives which God considers nor is it his Years but his Works that will be regarded in God's Day In short He that exerts all the Faculties and Powers of his Soul in a Course of Virtue and to the utmost of his Abilities endeavoues to rectifie what hath been amiss He that doth all the Good he can in his Generation and spends not a Day without setting forward in some measure his own and other Men's Salvation He that gives himself to God's Service and continually makes an Oblation of his Heart and Incense of his Prayers He it is that Redeems his Time indeed so that be it longer or shorter as God shall see it best for him however he Began he shall Einish his Course well And as Eliphas said Job 5. 26. He shall come to his Grave in a full Age like as a Shock of Corn cometh in in his season Morning Prayers O Lord teach us so to number our Days that we may apply our Hearts unto Wisdom Amen O Lord save us thy Servants who put our whole Trust in Thee Send us Help from thy Holy Place and evermore mightily defend us Let the Enemy have no Advantage of us nor the Wicked approach to us But be unto us a Strong Tower from the Face of all our Enemies Amen O Lord our Heavenly Father Almighty and Everlasting God who hast safely brought us to the Beginning of this Day defend us in the same with thy mighty Power and grant that this Day we fall into no Sin neither run into any kind of Danger but that all our Doings may be ordered by thy Governance to do always that is righteous in thy Sight through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen O God who knowest us to be set in the midst of so many and great Dangers that by reason of the Frailty of our Nature we cannot always stand upright grant to us such Strength and Protection as may support us in all Dangers and carry us through all Temptations through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen ALmighty God who seest that we have no Power of our selves to help our selves keep us both outwardly in our Bodies and inwardly in our Souls that we may be defended from all Adversities which may happen to the Body and from all Evil Thoughts which may assault and hurt the Soul through Cstrist our Lord. Amen ALmighty God who hast given thine only Son to be unto us both a Sacrifice for Sin and also an Ensample of Godly Life Give us Grace that we may always most thankfully receive that his inestimable Benefit and also daily endeavour our selves to follow the blessed Steps of his most Holy Life through the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen O Almighty God who alone canst order the Unruly Wills and Affections of sinful Men Grant unto thy People that they may love the things which thou commandest and desire that which thou dost promise that so among the sundry and manifold Changes of the World our Hearts may surely there be fixt where True Joys are to be found through Jesus Christ our Lord Amen O God the Protector of all them that trust in thee without whom nothing is strong nothing is holy increase and multiply upon us thy Mercy that Thou being our Ruler and Guide we may so pass through things Tenporal that we finally lose not the things Eternal Grant this O Heavenly Father for Jesus Christ's sake our Lord. Amen LOrd of all Power and Might who art the Author and Giver of all Good Things graft in our Hearts the Love of thy Name increase in us True Religion nourish us with all Goodness and of thy great Mercy keep us in the same through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen UNto thy Gracious Mercy and Protection O God we commit our selves The Lord
