of_o sin_n in_o they_o we_o must_v not_o to_o recreate_v ourselves_o do_v any_o thing_n which_o be_v dishonourable_a to_o god_n or_o injurious_a to_o our_o neighbour_n as_o they_o do_v who_o droll_n upon_o thing_n that_o be_v sacred_a and_o who_o make_v back_o bite_a discourse_n their_o recreation_n 2._o look_v that_o your_o recreation_n answer_v the_o end_n and_o design_n of_o their_o first_o institution_n not_o to_o pass_v time_n away_o which_o we_o ought_v above_o all_o thing_n to_o study_n to_o redeem_v and_o improve_v sure_o no_o man_n needs_o to_o contrive_v how_o to_o drive_v away_o his_o time_n which_o fly_v so_o fast_o of_o itself_o and_o be_v so_o impossible_a to_o recover_v but_o the_o true_a end_n of_o recreation_n be_v the_o refresh_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o recreate_v of_o the_o body_n to_o make_v they_o both_o the_o fit_a for_o the_o service_n of_o god_n in_o the_o duty_n of_o our_o general_n and_o particular_a calling_n therefore_o 3._o be_v careful_a that_o your_o

to_o do_v in_o your_o recreation_n let_v your_o end_n be_v mere_o to_o recreate_v yourself_o not_o to_o win_v money_n for_o that_o will_v certain_o bring_v you_o into_o a_o double_a danger_n the_o

their_o time_n and_o every_o penny_n in_o their_o purse_n which_o be_v consume_v in_o sin_n and_o vanity_n 6._o take_v heed_n that_o your_o sport_n and_o recreation_n be_v not_o cruel_a we_o ought_v not_o to_o refresh_v ourselves_o with_o spectacle_n of_o cruelty_n in_o see_v either_o man_n or_o beast_n needless_o torment_v each_o other_o that_o enmity_n which_o be_v among_o the_o creature_n be_v

enough_o for_o thou_o to_o behold_v the_o antipathy_n which_o thy_o sin_n have_v put_v into_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o creature_n but_o thou_o must_v barbarous_o make_v thyself_o merry_a with_o their_o misery_n who_o in_o their_o kind_n be_v far_o more_o serviceable_a to_o the_o creator_n than_o thyself_o 7._o remember_v young_a man_n that_o god_n eye_n be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o you_o
