never spoke Good of me 9 By our good moral Life and Conversation Man may chuse us into the Church Membership but let us not rest on that so was Judas but upon God only who chuseth us to Eternal Life 10 He hath all things who hath God and he that hath not God though he hath all other things hath but Shadows 11 One Grain of Grace is more worth than many Pounds of Gifts or Gifts of Pounds Peter's answer to Simon Magus 12 In Creation God gave us to our selves but in Redemption he gave himself to us 13 Though Christians sit in Darkness and have no Light yet Job and Heman-like let them trust God on the Faith of Adherance for God may withdraw his Communion from his People for a time but never his Union for Heaven is the only Place of eternal Comfort not Earth 14 The Toyl of getting the Care of keeping and the Fear of losing takes away a great deal of the Comfort of Riches and yet for all that they often take the Mornings Wings like Job's 15 There be many People that looks not on a Bible or bows not a Knee to God from one Sabbath to another but at the Church for fashion I would have such to mind that VVord If our Gospel be hid it is hid from them that are lost the God of this VVorld hath blinded their Eyes 16 To have a broken Heart for Sin and a broken Christ meet in the Sacarament is Joy unspeakable none can tell but them that tastes 17 Life is a tempestuous Sea-voyage but Death brings a Believer to his Harbour of Rest 18 Every Step of our Life stands in need of a Step of God's Protection and Mercy to us 19 Commonly Men Chuse the poorest Ground for the richest Mines so does God the Poor of this World rich in Faith 20 Afflictors and Afflictions are grievous for the present to People of God as the sweetest Roses has their Prickles so the best of Christians has their Afflictions 21 A Dog may bark at a Sheep but a Sheep cannot bark again Shemi to David Tobias and Sanballat to Nehemiah 22 O let us press forward and launch forth till we drown our selves in God's bottomless Ocean of Love to all Eternity 23 Let us learn Wisdom from the Birds of the Air the Eagle Falcon and Raven are so quick-sighted as to build upon such Rocks as they scorn the Horse and his Rider ought we not much more to build upon our Rock Christ that the Gates of Hell cannot prevail against 24 Whatever our Guiltiness be yet when it falleth into the Sea of God's Mercy it 's but like a drop of Blood into the great Ocean 25 They that would be Christ's Ambassadors must set their Faces as Flint against the Devil's Bagagers as Paul going to Jerusalem Daniel facing the Lions the three Children the Fiery the Furnace and Luther going to Worms 26 O how Pleasant is it to the Earth to have the Sun rising on it But how much more Pleasant and Sweet is it to us to feel the Son of Righteousness shining on our Souls 27 When I do see the Birds of the Air the Beasts of the Field the Fish of the Sea all as they were Finger-fed from God what needs me then mistrust that has an Immortal Soul 28 God is that great Rock that supporteth Heaven and Earth and the Godly are Pillars hewen out of that Rock for Support to the Earth and at their removal down it comes Witness when Noah went into the Ark and Lot out of Sodom 29 The Palm-tree and the Camomile the more they are pressed the richer they grow so Christians the more sanctified Afflictions on Earth the richer Crown of Glory in Heaven 30 Behold the Larks by the dawning of the Day sings Praise to their Maker O how much more should Christians that has the Day-Star from high arisen on their Hearts 31 God's tender Love and Kindness never fails in giving us and our tender Love and Kindness ought not to fail in giving to his 32 Regeneration is a greater and glorious Work than the whole Creation for many that were created are in Hell but all regenerate are and shall be in Heaven 33 It 's good to call upon God in the Day of Trouble as Jacob did when Laban was behind him to Rob him and Esau before him to Kill yet God made the one to Bless him and the other to Kiss him 34 A good Wife and Children are the best earthly Blessings as Jacob said to Esau these are Wives and Children God has Blessed me with 35 O how becoming it is to see Christians kind to one another It 's like the dew of Heaven and Christ shews a Patern of it to his Disciples desiring them to Love one another 36 It 's good to be in Company with the kind Godly and to desire them to be in yours as the two sorrowful Disciples sound going to Emaus they constrained Christ to stay with them and he opened their Eyes 37 We may safely expect God in his Way of Mercy to us when we are in his Ways of Obedience 38 O let us give God our Morning Thoughts For the Comfort and Success of every Day depends on the Blessing of God 39 O let us not weary in Well doing For Religion's Wages is above its Work and its Pay above its Pains Heaven for ever 40 The Gospel of Peace is a great Blessing but the Peace of the Gospel is a greater Blessing 41 The Way to have any earthly Thing taken from us and not Blessed is to set our Hearts too much on it 42 The only Way to have our own Wills fulfilled is to submit to God's Will say Thy Will be done in Earth as it is in Heaven 43 He that repelleth the Temptation of unlawful Gain Gains by that Temptation 44 Many time God suffers his own to mourn cry and reflect on themselves not finding Rest till they come back like Noah's Dove to the Ark of Refuge 45 Saints are many times least alone when most alone when Jacob was left alone he wrestled with God 46 VVhen we are weak we see what we are in our selves when we are strong in Faith we see what we are in God 47 Nothing deforms a Man so much as Sin and nothing reforms and adorns so much as Grace 48 Christ's Kingdom is not of this VVorld nor yet is a Christian's Happiness 49 Since the Fall it has been our Fault not to VVeep yet too much weeping may be turned into Sin in not looking to our Saviour for Comfort 50 Natural Men are Earthly in the use of Heavenly Things but Spiritual Men are Heavenly in the use of Earthly Things 51 Any that would Ride the Post-road to Hell then let them venture upon the Bosses of his Bucklers by Persecuting the People of God O then haste Human mount your Gallows of 50 Cubits O haste Achitophel and Judas to your Halters Haste Ahab and Jezebel to your hungry Dogs Haste Pharaoh and Herod to the hungry VVorms and Fishes 52 God is good to us many Times in sending us Crosses because he makes them work together for our good 53 It is the Fate of many Christians to be troubled with vain Thoughts but let them beg Grace to drive them away as Abraham did the Fowls from the Sacrifice 54 Believers must Labour to keep themselves from Sin unspotted of the VVorld for Heaven it a holy Place unto which no unclean Thing can enter 55 To Sin is Heathen-like to Grieve and Forsake is Saint-like to Persevere and Boast is Devil-like 56 A Man may conceive in his Mind Rocks of Diamonds Mountains of Gold Heaps of Pearl in a Moment but none is able to conceive the good Things that God will give to them that Love and Fear him This finishes 1000 Proverbs and 500 Songs by G.
