God bestowed upon him whereby he could experimentially say That a Prudent Wife is the Gift of God And that in the enjoyment of her he enjoyed more Mercies then he could well enumerate But to descend to particulars and to take notice of some of those virtues and Graces wherewith God had beautified and adorned her Soul First her Piety was signal and exemplary from her first Conversion to the Hour of her Death Her Piety Her life was not stained with any scandalous Sin which might be a blemish either to her Person Profession or Relations She was a constant and diligent attender upon the Publick Ministry of Gods Holy Word And when she lived where she had the opportunity of hearing Lectures in the Week Day she made choice to attend upon those who were most plain practical and powerful Preachers from whose Sermons and Gods Blessing upon them she always sucked some spiritual nourishment and came home refreshed from them And when Days of Humiliation or Thanksgiving came she never failed to make one among Gods People in the Celebration of them Sabbaths Sanctified The Lords Days she carefully Sanctified both in Publick and in Private rising earlier upon them then upon other's especially when she had many young Children about her that so she might have opportunity as well for secret as for Family Duties before she was called away to the Publick She was like unto Davids Door keeper One of the first in and last out of Gods House Her constant Gesture at Prayer was Kneeling thinking that she could not be too humble before God Her usual manner was to write Sermons to prevent drowsiness and distractions and to help Memory whereof she hath left many Volumes and her Practice was to make good use of them by frequent reading and meditating upon them And if at any time she was cast into such Places and Company as were a hinderance unto her in the strict Sanctification of this Holy Day it was a grief and burden to her Scriptures read There was no Day that passed over her head except Sickness or some other unavoydable necessity hindred wherein she did not read some portions of the Sacred Scriptures both in the Old and New Testament and of the Psalms and in Reading she took special notice of such passages as most concerned her self She was frequent and constant in Secret Prayer and Meditation She also read much in other good Books especially in the works of those Eminent and excellent Divines Mr. Ambrose and Mr. Reyner and in reading of them she used to transcribe such passages as most warmed her Heart She never neglected any opportunity of receiving the Sacrament of the Lords Supper Sacrament preparation and before her coming to it was very strict and serious in the Duty of Self-Examination and for her furtherance therein at those times she read some of those Books that treated upon that subject And the Fruits of her holiness manifested themselves in the exercise of those Graces which God required of her She was not a Wordy but a Real Christian A true Israelite in whom was no guile Her endeavour was to yield universal constant cheerful and syncere Obedience to all Gods Commandments and wherein she failed and came short it was her grief and Burden Her Meditations upon what she heard and read were frequent And her Heart having indited a good matter her Tongue was as the Pen of a ready Writer taking Opportunities to speak to the Edification of those with whom she conversed She filled every Relation with the Exercise of such Graces and Duties as were suitable thereunto knowing that where Relative Duties are neglected and not made conscience of there also our pretended Religion is in Vain A good Wife First As a Wife She was singular and very Exemplary in that reverence and obedience which she yeilded to her Husband both in Words and Deeds She never rose from the Table even when they were alone but she made courtesie She never drank to him without bowing His word was a Law unto her She often denyed her self to gratify him And when in her sickness and weakness he mentioned her Case in particular unto God in his Prayers the Duty being ended she would make him courtesie and thank him In case of his absence she would pray with her Famliy Morning and Evening The like she would do in his presence in case of his Sickness and inability to perform the Duty himself Her Modesty and Chastity were rare and remarkable But fitter to be conceived by those which know what belong to them then to be expressed in Words For there is a conjugal as well as a Virginal and Vidual Chastity In Case of her Husbands Sickness she was a tender diligent and painful Nurse about him Skilful and careful in making him Broths and what else was needful for him If at any time she saw him in Passion with sweet and gentle words she would mollify and moderate it She was often a Spur but never a Bridle to him in those things which were good She was alwayes well pleased with such Habitations as in their many removes he provided for her And with such Apparrel and Diet as his means which was sometimes short would allow She never grutched nor grumbled at any of those Dispensations which Gods Al-wise Providence carved out unto them As a Mother Secondly As a Mother to her Children whereof God gave her nine four Sons and five Daughters she nourished them all with her own Breasts was very handy and handsome about them in their minority Kept them sweet and cleanly In neat and modest Habits Knew how to order them both in Health and Sickness She loved them dearly without fondness Was careful to give them Nurture as well as Nourishment not sparing the Rod when there was just occasion And as soon as they were capable she was vigilant and diligent to season their tender years with Grace and Virtue by instilling into them the first grounds and Principles of Religion And as they grew up she did more freely discover her tender Affections to them by Instruction advice and good Counsel as there was occasion And when they were disposed of ●broad by her gracious letters and hearty Instructions at their meetings she laboured to build them up in grace and godliness And God was pleased to let her see to her great Joy and Comfort the fruit of her Prayers and pains in keeping them from scandalous Courses in these corruptions and in working Grace in most of their Hearts When they were married and had Children she was frequently making one thing or other for them As a Mistress Thirdly As a Mistress to her Maids She was careful so far as she could to bring such as were Religious at least seemingly into her Family And having occasion to be much in their Company she would take all occasions and opportunities to manifest her love and care of their Souls by frequent dropping in good
