one to Christ thy surety to pay thy great debts as thy small ones 52. Upon whom God bestows much cost there he looks for some answerable fruits 53. Sin may draw down judgment on a godly man but it shall not rest on him 54. The Church hath evermore received more hurt by discord then open enemies 55. In all diseases take away the proud and dead flesh and the plaister will fall off 56. When the fuel of sin is taken away Gods fiery wrath ceaseth 57. Saints by their great falls lose their communion but not their union with God 58. Of all burthens the absence of God's favour is most intollerable 59. Except healing and pardoning mercy go together man hath no comfort and God no glory 60. It 's very ill when small temptations makes us question the truth of God's promises 61. It 's sad to see carnal men contriving other waies of coming to Christ then ever he ordained or revealed 62. We must go to the promises for enlargement to duty our service requiring no portion but meer poverty and emptinesse 63. He that is content Christ should take all from him and dispose altogether of him hath a holy frame of heart 64. It 's Satan's policy either to let us see no sin or nothing but sin 65. Never any saved but rebells nor received mercy but such as opposed mercy 66. No Scripture saith the greatnesse of man's sin hinders the greatnesse of God's mercy 67. It 's not properly some men's unworthinesse but their pride which hinders them from Christ desiring something in themselves and not to have all from him 68. There 's no limitation of the riches of God's free grace but onely in the sin against the Holy Ghost 69. God shews mercy not because wee please him but because mercy pleaseth him 70. Whatsoever sight of sin unfits a man for mercy that sight is sinful 71. He that depends upon the power and mercy of God in his Ordinances shall find proportionable succour and success 72. When all means fail let the soul look up to God and out from it self being the fittest time to meet God and disappoint Satan 73. As a tree may want leaves and fruit not wanting sap or moisture so a Christian may want sense and feeling when there is faith 74. Sometimes some mens souls are like sullen children refusing their meat because they have not what they would 75. It 's a bad custome some men have never to be well but when judging rashly of their eternal being 76. Some men in hearing study how to find answers to put by their comforts 77. He â—hat listens to carnal pleas sins deeply and wounds his soul dangerously 78. He that enters the lists with Satan concerning God's Decrees will be carried into a wood where no body comes and no comfort to be had 79. We must not measure the riches of God's love nor sweetnesse of his grace by our own conceits 80. In self-judging observe the good as well as the bad and do not lie at the catch with thine own soul to take it at the worst 81. There 's a great deal of evil in that self-willed proud heart who hath all his objections answered yet renews them afresh 82. It 's a sin to reject mercy when God offers it as to kill a man which he hath forbidden 83. It 's better crosse our own humors then crosse God's Spirit 84. Stubborn peevish souls if saved in the end yet they are as it were in hell upon earth 85. Let souls hold to the Word in their dispute with Satan and he will be weary and go away 86. Look from one end of the heavens to the other and see if ever any man leaning upon God was disappointed 87. A soul leavs all other things for that which is chief with the soul 88. Faith gives a kind of being to whatsoever we do or speak 89. We must not think to bring any good to the promises but go to them for all good 90. We must not look for sanctification till we come to the Lord in vocation 91. O precious faith which brings all goodnesse with it grace here happinesse hereafter 92. There would be a sweet mutual peace in God's holy mountain if every one kept in his own limits knowing his duty 93. It 's an eminent and infallible mark of regeneration to have the violence and fierceness of our nature taken away 94. He that refuseth works of mercy to those in need is a murtherer 95. The doctrine of Christ is preached to many but the power thereof extended but to few 96. That man is holy and harmlesse who when opportunity of doing evill is offered can abstain 97. It 's a blessed thing when we are provok'd to forbear to revenge our selves 98. It 's a sign of a woful state when our tongues flie out in words and our hearts are set on mischief in small matters 99 No man can love a saint as a saint but a saint 100. Religion and Rebellion are inconsistent CENTURY 7. 1 NO man is turned unto God but he loves the society he formerly hated 2. It 's dangerous too much to admire fleshly excellency for those gifts of goodness which are in the same 3. As there is a cruell justice many times so there may be a cruel mercy 4. A heart set upon chafing brawling and raging is void of comfort 5. He may be assured of the remission of sin who is released from the bondage of sin 6. No sin so small but there 's an enmity against God in it and a dishonour to God 7. He that would make all comfort sure to himself let him make this sure first that his sins are forgiven him 8. The onely way to quiet our hearts is to hearken what God saies 9. All God's children must be plowed and have the clods of their corruption broken 10. Misery to the righteous is as a sojourner but it rests on the back of the wicked man 11. The means time and measure of afflictions is of God's own appointment 12. The wounds of a friend with holy reproof are precious but his wounds by sinful counsel are pernicious 13. There 's another life besides the natural life and the root of it is Christ our life 14. That nothing can suffice man coms from a divine instinct to make him seek out another life wherein consists happinesse 15. He that finds such an antipathy betwixt his spirit and sin as betwixt him and poison hath true grace in his heart 16. We must hate the conversations of such who hinder us in the growth of spiritual life 17. As without shedding of blood no forgivenesse of sin so without the Spirit sealing the promises to our souls we have no comfort 18. Christ is the fountain of spiritual life but faith is the pipe conveying it to us 19. Better for us to sleep in a house full of Adders and Serpents then in a state of sin 20. Happy practice when with the day we clear the sins of the day fitting
or hurt 66. For a man to be stupid and sensless under spiritual afflictions argues a very ill temper 57. As all flowers wither when the Sun withdraws his influence so do all graces when Christ departs 58. Conscience kindles a fire upon the breach of integrity that burns inwardly and consumes the marrow and drinks up the spirits 59. Envie is an everlasting burning which nothing will satisfie but its own blood 60. It makes heavie afflictions light and long short to look where they end for the sight of the end shortens the way 61. Not to be warned by others is a sure presage of ruine for storms begin in one place and end in another 62. The greatest part of ourknowledge is the least part of our ignorance 63. The more worth is in any man the lesse self-conceitednesse and the lower in our own eies the higher in God's sight 64. The fire of heaven turns men into Saints and separates them from sinners 65. If bread fail feed on faith and thou maist make a good living of it for when meat is taken away God will take away the stomach and faith fears no famine it keeps us from diffidence in Gods promises and makes us possess our souls in patience 66. Our self-accusations in our confessions take out the sting and poison of Satan's malicious accusations 67. O! the deep sorrow our hearts should be filled withall when we see Christ bleeding upon the Cross 68. What soul-wound's so deadly that cannot or may not be healed by the death and healing wounds of Christ 69. The woâ—k of faith is to make the soul betake it self to the wounds of Christ as the Dote to the clefts of the rock for shelter and security against all fears and distresses that wrath and guilt may put the Considence to 70. Our whole life is a continual warfare and we must look for the continual hail-shot of Satanical assaults and suggestions 71. Christians fight and faint not your reward is sure your armor is of proof the old serpent hath his head bruised 72. Many tempt Satan to tempt them by venturing on the occasion of sin or by inconsideration and security 73. A full belly and a foul heart seldom go uncoupled for in the Anatomy of our bodies the parts of gluttony and lust are linked together and so are the sins themselvs 74. Too much eating quite takes away our stomachs from all holy duties 75. Holiness becoms all men but best of all publick persons both for example of good and liberty of controlling evil 76. It 's a gross dull capacity that cannot or will not distinguish betwixt the work and the instrument the weakness of the person and the power of the function 77. The glory of Israel the Ark was no waies lessened by coming from the Philistins 78. Far be it from us to think if the sacrificer be unclean that the offering is so 79. Elias was a holy wise man yet he rejected not his meat because Ravens brought it 80. Learning will pine away if forced to officiate at the Tables end for the trencher 81. The Pulpit is a place that requires both learning and industry for Saint Paul found as great want of his books as his Cloak in winter 82. He gives twice who gives speedily for the more speed the more comfort 83 Many a man's Executor proves the Executioner of his Will and Estate 84. It 's a general complaint that the end of our daies out runs the begining of good works 85. The poor most times may thank the death or disease of rich men not their charity 86. Happy is he who makes his candle go before him not behind him for early beneficence hath no danger many joies 87. The use of riches is great if there be qualification in our desires 88 It 's as impossible to expresse the joies of heaven as put the sea into a bottle 89. It 's but justice that he who hath sinned out his own eternity should suffer out God's eternity 90. The object of repenting sorrow is sin not punishment and a good man fears more the committing of the one then suffering of the other 91. Pardoned sin disquiets a repenting heart and grievs him to have been such a beast to offend so gracious a God remembring the sins God hath forgotten 92. He that sheds a sea oâ— tears and drowns not his sins in that sea is never the better 93. He that sighs prays and begs for mercy and lives in sin deceivs himself having no truth in that repentance 94. Every grace which brings to heaven must be a tried grace 95. A man's wealth and will must both be good for if his hands be full and the heart empty he deservs pity more then commendation having riches but neither goods nor blessings 96. It 's said of the Divel he abode not in the truth because no truth is in him so Sectaries abide not in Religion because no Religion is in them 97. Truth once in the heart will dwell and rule there 98. A man may preach soundly and discourse judiciously and yet be unsound at heart 99. A Christian must be careful to avoid all blemishes but especially covetousness as being most contrary to his profession whose hope is in heaven 100. God's children have variety of conditions some more comfortable then others CENTURY 3. 1. THe love of God is constant in the variety of conditions and there 's no shadow of change in God howsoever the changes of our life be 2. How rugged the way to heaven be it 's no matter so we come there 3. A prudent Christian in the variety of conditions knows how to avoid the sins incident to that condition 4. Grace is above all conditions making a man patient in a mean estate and not proud when he doth abound 5. He that hath an inheritance in another world sets a light esteem upon all things below 6. Self-denial is the first lesson in Christs school learn this and thou shalt be content in any condition 7. He that hath God to be his Father hath a large portion in any estate 8. There 's poison in every thing without grace and grace pulls out the sting and finds good in the worst things 9. The best things of a Christian are not at the mercy of the world nor at the mercy of his several conditions 10. Rising and murmuring of corrupt nature in any condition becomes not a true Christian 11. The right use of our daily infirmities is to make them the subject of humiliation and the object of mortification 12. Customary sins are not sins of infirmitie except the ground of the infirmity be rooted in the heart as an inclination to be angry which holy men repent of and get victory over it at last 13. He that pleads for sin discovers a false heart for this is an enormity not an infirmity 14. Universality of obedience is the triall of a sincere Christian being a good man in all his relations 15. Let us not think the good we
praiers when they intend to fall one upon another 48. To every good work we had need of renewed assisting grace 49 Against every evil we are tempted to we had need of delivering grace 50. O! how a sudden winde of temptations trips up the heels of a strong man sometimes 51. He that is privie to his own soul of good intentions to abstain from evil may presume God will assist him against evil 52. God not onely delivers from ill and out of ill but many times from a greater ill by a lesser 53. Rather then a man shall miscarry when God hath any work for him to do he will work a miracle 54. Death is sometimes a preservation it self sending a man to heaven his harbour and rest 55. It 's the fate of Kings many times to out live their glory and Kingdoms 56. He that keeps heaven for us keeps us also for heaven 57. The firm belief and hope of heaven are effectual for a holy life and conversation 58. We must one time or another have those graces on earth which fits us for heaven 59. An humble soul is ever thankful for the least measure of grace 60. Man's imploiment in heaven is singing of Psalms and so much as we are given to this exercise are we in heaven 61. The extent of our desires to God's glory should be carried to all eternity 62. A beggarly maintenance makes a contemptible Ministry 63. A Christians care is that there be no breaches made upon the Doctrine sealed by the blood of the Martyrs 64. An evil Governor is not onely a poison to the State and Church whilst hee he lives but the mischief of it afterwards 65. All the good actions of the life meet together and comfort a man in death 66. As men cast seed upon seed where the ground is fruitful so the more good we do the more opportunities of doing good are still offered 67. As we are in a perpetual Proficiency in this life so there 's a perpetual necessity of means and Ministry 68. We may enter upon all the means of saving knowledge upon this ground because Christ our teacher is able and willing to lead us from one degree to another 69. Christ not onely brings doctrine but wit and grace to the inward man 70. After Christ the Father loves all in Christ with the same love wherewith he loves Christ 71. As all heat in the creature is from the Sun so all piety and goodness flows from God above 72. The love of God is the spring of all duties and graces making us not onely good but comfortable as birds in the Spring 73. Faith is nothing but the act whereby we apprehend the love of God to us in Christ 74. They that have Christ for their Redeemer shall have heaven for their inheritance the Spirit for their guide the Angels for their attendance 75. God fills the bellies of many men with inward things whose hearts he never filled with his love 76. The sooner a sinner comes into God it 's the easier and his comfort will be the stronger 77. To thrive in a course of sin is a sign of reprobation 78. The way to keep God's love in us is to be careful to keep our selves under th means of salvation and to look on God as he is presented in the Gospel 79. Some are kept a little longer under the Law before they come under Grace 80. Seasonable afflictions sanctified are evidences of God's love 81. Our love to God is sincere when it comes from the Word and the Spirit and from good things there manifested to the soul 82. If we have God's love no matter what we want or in what condition we be 83. As the Sun doth not alwaies shine out so the love of God is not alwaies manifested 84. Rejoice in thy portion lesse or more whosoever thou be who finds the love of God in the best things 85. The want of feeling of God's love to us causeth the defect of our love to pity piety charity duty 86. He hath need of much reverence watchfulnesse and humility who will preserve himself in the love of God 87. God's love is better then life it self and if we have not this no matter what we have 88. All is love and mercie to those who are in Christ the beloved 89. Christ by his Spirit dwells in all believers therefore they should labour all to be one 90. How excellent were it if all men had the same thoughts the same religion the same aims and affections to good things a thing to be desired but not hoped for 91. If Christ be in the soul then tumults and fightings also for nature is long yielding to grace 92. They that are in Christ must not think it strange or be much troubled with inward oppositions 93. Into whatsoever soul Christ comes he will scourge out the lusts and sweep out the filth of that soul 94. They who entertain Christ onely in the brain give him as bad entertainment as they who forced him in a manger 95. It 's to no purpose or comfort to have Christ in our tongues and the world in our hearts 96. If Christ take up the heart and affection for his rooms then there flows a base esteem of all worldly excellencies 97. Christ was in Zacheus's heart before he was in his house else he had never been so charitable 98. Sometimes it 's needful we trust the judgment of others better then our own to know who dwells in us 99. As the Sun-beams are pure still though shining upon dunghills so is Christs Spirit not joining but wasting and consuming corruption 100. Christ dwells largely in that soul where the Word is its reason the Commandements its will God's glory its joy CENTURY 5. 1. A Heart having once entertained Christ is never content till it be with Christ in heaven 2. It 's dangerous thrusting our selves into such company whom we know to grieve the Spirit of God 3. If the soul apprehend Christ to bee gone let it observe how it lost him and recover him by the contrary 4. Discouragements proceed from carnal outward things but comforts proceed from the presence of divine things 5. Afflictions amongst the wise heathens could not hinder the life of reason and can they among Christians hinder the life of grace 6. God fits Prophets for persons giving them teachers sutable to their desires 7. Where grace is there will be without doubt mercy 8. It 's sign of life when a Christian is sensible of inconveniences 9. God first makes us fit and then makes use of us for to work 10. It 's a true disposition of a child of God to have a heart tender soft and pliable 11. Nothing so hard as the heart of man if wrought upon it must be by an Almighty power 12. The Adamant is only melted by blood so is the heart of man by Christ crucified 13. As water begining to freez will bear nothing almost but after a while any thing so a tender
heart at first doth tremble at the least sin or error but through custome and continuance will bear up any sin or error 14. The more sensible the soul is of outward things the lesse 't is of spiritual things 15. He that sets his love upon the creature loseth the very strength of his soul 16. Wise men when they go about spiritual duties cut themselves short of the use of the creatures 17. Conscience hardned in some great sin makes no stop in fin 18. A heart will not easily be kept tender that is not under the means of grace 19. A Reprobate hath joined with his heart security insensibleness obstinacie and contempt of the means 20. A Christian may have hardnesse of heart and yet feels it as a man that hath the stone and know it 21. If God take away the grace a man hath he becoms worse of himself then he was by nature 22. They that are not bettered by Religion under the means are so much worse by their use of the means 23. Spiritual grief for sin though it be not so vehement as outward grief for losses yet it is more constant 24. If there were no weaknesse in us what need Christ continue making peace for us in heaven 25. They that have a tender heart from God have also a tender heart for God 26. A tender heart is fit to run any errand of God's sending because its pliable 27. Tender hearts lay to heart other mens estates weeping over the misery of the wicked rejoicing at the good of the godly 28. A cerimonial hypocrite is more hard to be wrought upon then Turk or Pagan 29. It 's a disposition not unbefitting the greatest Monarch to humble himself before the great God 30. It 's the glory of a Christian that he hath got grace to humble himself 31. Many are humbled who are not humble and cast down who have proud hearts 32. True sorrow cannot speak distinctly for broken hearts speak but broken words 33. Justification of God and self-condemnation go with true humiliation 34. Hee that thinks highly of himself robs God of his glory and makes himself an Idol 35. An humble heart is a vessel of grace for so much humility so much grace 33. After the measure we empty our selvs in that measure we are filled with the fulnesse of God 37. All grace flows in upon the humble soul as water from the hills into the valleys making the soul rich in God 38. Seeing humble fouls are onely safe and secure we must either humble our selvs or God will 39. God works many times by graceless persons but he doth not work in them 40. Thunderclaps over our heads are feared but not those which are far off so wicked men fear judgment near but regardless if far off 41. If humiliation have not faith and hope to raise the soul to some comfort it turns to desperation 42. True humility makes a man nothing and yet fills the soul in God 43. A wicked man may be sensible of his judgment but not of the cause 44. Adversity will never hurt where there 's no iniquity 45. Outward expressions of sorrow are no further good then when they come from inward grief and affection for God must have inward affections or else he abhors outward actions 46. It 's an easie matter to force tears but it 's hard to afflict the soul 47. It 's the sin of many in stead of renting their cloaths in coming before God come to shew their bravery and to be seen 48. That man is falsly humble and truly proud who while he afflicts the body omits the soul 49. Tears for sin proceeding from inward grief is a temper becoming any Christian 50. All expression and manifestation of devotion is little enough so it be without hypocrisie 51. Magistrates who are tenderly affected with the condition of the people shall have a people carry a tender affection to them 52. It 's great cause of weeping to a gracious heart that it cannot weep 53. It 's a bad sign when we itch to hear of another man's fall thinking thereby to hide our own wickednesse 54. Praier begs blessing from God and thankfulnesse continues them with man 55. Many times there 's most grief where there are fewest tears 56. Spiritual sorrow is a great deal better then naturall for it fats the soul 57. God puts all his children's tears in a bottle But wicked men spare him a labour for they seldom weep though they have most cause 58. A broken heart expresseth it self more in sighs and groans then in words which the Spirit onely understands 59. It 's our wisdom to observe how God hears our prayert that so we may be suitably thankfull 60. He that prayes with a resolution to fin goes to God with a petition in one hand and a dagger in another 61. Whatsoever the crosses of a good man be his last end shal be assuredly blessed 62. God takes notice of every good word and work the godly do and will reward it 63. Hypocrites are recompenced because God will not be in their debt and it 's all their desire 64. When a Christian lookes onely on the ill that 's in him he robs God of his glory and himself of comfort 65. The good are scattered amongst the bad in their life but in death they shall be gathered to God 66. He that joins himself in love and affection to wicked men on earth shall be also joined in torment and destruction in hell 67. God sometimes reservs men in this life to worse miseries then death it self 68. One death is better then many and a sudden sometimes better then a lingring 69. A man may out-live his happinesse so that life it self may prove a judgement 70. Sight of misery works deeper on the soul then the hearing of it 71. Death indeed is the King of fears very terrible but that which is at the back of death is more terrible hell and damnation 72. Some men's death is like Josiahs a mercy and a correction 73. Many times good parents are taken away that they may not see the ruine of their children 74. Good Christians like good corn will sooner be ground to powder then yield either to the rough blasts of persecution or the smooth flattering gales of error and heresie 75. The chief care of the chief Magistrate is for the good of Church and State 76. Man is freed from the Law as it 's his Judge but not as it 's his Counsellor 77. If a godly man go out of the way he shall smart for it and be whipt home again 78. He that hath stuck long in the mire of sin must be haled and pulled out by violence and must not look for peace and comfort presently 79. Wee walk by faith in this world sense and sight is reserv'd for another world 80. No good is to be done to the soul by praiers and cries so long as we are carelesse of purifying the heart 81. Despise not the outward
our selvs for life or death 21. Though pardon of sin be pronounced yet God hath the keeping of joy in his own hand 22. Every falling into sin is not upon all four a quite falling away 23. Samson's strength was in his locks but our strength against sin and errour is in Christ 24. A believing spirit trembles at any thing which hinders or grievs the Spirits working 25. Sense of God's love is sometimes withdrawn to make us mourn for it the more 26. When afflictions are doubled it 's time to pray hard believe and apply the promises and then deliverance will come 27. In the use of means run alwaies to Christ that he may work virtue being onely in him 28. God's time of helping the poor and needy is when all other help is at a stand 29. After faith ends on earth comes the life of vision in heaven 30. Redemption in regard of efficacie is no larger then God's Election for those which the Father gave in Election Christ by Redemption saves 31. God's general call in the Church is to call out his own 32. God rains the showers of his Ordinances upon all but Believers have onely the benefit of it 33. It 's no matter what cavills wicked men raise of God's intention and election seeing more grace and means are offered then they are willing to entertain 34. Christ is our husband faith yields consent and consent makes the match 35. Many are in the state of grace relying on mercy and wanting the assurance of pardon 36. Satan applying himself to the distemper of a melancholy spirit keeps it in darknesse 37. Sincerity is the holy man's perfection in the use of all means 38. A man may have excellent parts and no grace at all which are given for the good of others because such neglect faith humility and a broken spirit which are more then gifts 39. Parents shew their love most to the weakest child so God manifests his comforts most to weak Christians 40. Where there is faith there is praier for faith is the parent of praier and praier is the breath of faith 41. The living of a happy life consists in the assurance of God's love to our souls 42. The sense of Christs love in pardoning sin constrains us to an holy violence in performing of duty 43. Look upon the love of God and it will cut the sinews of sin and distrust in providence 44. Come in and stoop to Christ in doing thy duty and thou puts this question out of question that thou art one of God's Elect. 45. They who have no conflict in their spirit and no interruption in their estate may greatly fear their condition 46. In cases of desertion and seeming deadness trie which way soul the goes in its desires 47. Complain of thy self and sins to Christ and let sin have no quiet possession 48. He is a true Christian who lives in no grosse sin nor allows of no small sin 49. That man dies comfortably who believs Christ will have a care of his soul 50. Some Scriptures are become hard to understand because of so many diversities of understanding 51. Little Scripture is so sincere and indemnified as to please all conjectures and satisfie all interests and spirits that inquire into them 52. It 's a wilful error to choose to be solitary where there 's one Catholick consent and harmony 53. It 's dangerous to take by-paths where the open road is free and safe 54. He that chooseth singularity wil fall into many absurdities and implications 55. He that dotes upon his own invention and proposeth to himself a separate notion will ravish and wrest the Word by an audacious force 56. Many things lie yet hid in the Scripture as full of darknesse as wonder 57. Some undo a great deal of learning by an extreme ingredient of superstition or novelty 58. They that are most void of learning and experience dabble most in dark places 59. Though many things in Scripture be obscure and profound yet nothing superfluous 60. He reads the Scripture with danger of infection who brings the Plague with him 61 Carnal pleasures sowr and wither by using but spiritual become fresh and delightful 62. That heart is worse then iron whom Christs loadstone cannot attract 63. The graces of Christ are like the eternal springs of the earth that cannot dry up but are and shall be diffused until his whole house be filled 64. The love of Christians to Christ is no blind precipitate passion but guided by reason and election 65. Grace destroies not nature but perfects her by supernatural reliefs 66. There 's special intimacie and kindnesse betwixt Christ and those that fear him 67. Joy breeds from love to its root and where one is shed abroad the other trickls after it 68. The more we mind God by contemplation the more we admire and seek him 69. Many souls are black through the night of persecution yet comely in hope and patience 70. False teachers have many folloâ—â—… as wasps have combs but no honey 71. Some are Kite-eied to espy the filthinesse and carrion cast out of their brethren passing over their graces 72. Affliction may discolour the Church for a season but her proper and constant complexion will be beauty for ashes 73. None so implacable and bitter as hereticks and Schismaticks sons of the same mother the Church but not of the same Father God 74. Get under Christs protection and Government and he will not suffer thee to lack 75. He is in greatest danger of erring who travels alone 76. Babylon holds many of God's people yet let them not make such places their refuge much lesse their election 77. It 's truly Christian for a man to love those who hate him and do him wrong 78. It aggravates a man's sinfulnesse to be unholy wilst he converseth with such as are holy 79. It brings honour to God and man to be upright amongst those who are unjust 80. Perfect holiness is the aim of Saints on earth it 's their reward in heaven 81. As the salt Sea makes not the fish salt so no filthiness destroies true grace 82. Some men can personate Religion but are not religious persons 83. He who hath a plain heart hath also square dealings 84. If God hath given thee grace thou hast the best and choicest blessing can be given 85. Grace may be more eminent in some then in others yet every man hath every grace who hath any grace at all 86. It 's a great dishonor to our profession not to be upright in our dealings and conversation 87. Fear being all duty and every grace if uprightness of dealing be not from it it 's a heathenish virtue not a Christian grace 88. The fear of the Lord sweeps the heart and keeps the life clean 89. Holy enmity against sin is the temper of a godly man's heart 90. He that will avoid sin must avoid the occasion of sin and he that will keep from the act must keep from the way
