Disputations and Contendings Revilings and Persecuting of others because they cannot see or believe as thou dost or wouldst have them do arise from Self-Elevation where the properties of Nature are at enmity with each other and are contrary to Reason and Nature 372. It is a Virtue well worthy of Practice for Men to remove and put away all such Things as may at any time give occasion for Wrath or evil Words vehement Passions or cruel Deeds as all Rich Meats and Drinks costly Garments and Houshold-Stuff and the like which being by Servants imbezled and spoiled administers occasions unto many Evils both in Words and Works 373. The Heathen Emperor Augustus may in this matter read a Lecture to us Christians who being one day invited to Dinner at a Senators House that was a mighty admirer of choice and curious Drinking Glasses and spared for no cost to get such as was extraordinary rare and fine heard on a suddain a grievous dolesom Cry and inquiring the Cause understood that it was made by one of the Men Slaves who having by mischance broke a brave Glass as he was Washing it was by his Masters Command carried to be thrown into a Pond to be devoured of the Fish the Emperor caused the Execution to be stopt and calling the Senator desired to see his stock of Glasses which he so highly valued the Senator imagining he would have Admired and Esteemed them as mush as he did readily carries him into his Cabinet and shows him all his brittle Rarities which having seen the Emperor with his Staff breaks them every one saying He would prevent such mischiefs for the future as having Mens Lives taken away for a paltry Glass 374. He that takes Daniel and his Companions for an Example shall avoid many burthensom Inconveniencies of Care Passions and Labours both of Body and Mind for those Wise and Holy Youths contented themselves with Pulse and Water only and did not value the costly Foods that came from the Kings Table 375. So St. Iohn the Baptist pass'd over the greatest part of his Life in the Desart Eating nothing but Locusts and wild-Honey which Word that in our Translation is rendered Locusts do signifie as I am informed by those skilled in the Original the Buds or first Sproutings of Trees Herbs and Vegitations 376. Be not so ignorant and stupidly Vain as to say or think as I have heard some allege that insensitive Vegitations suffer Pains when cut down or gathered even as the Beasts or Animals do when they are killed since the latter are in every degre indued with Sences equal to Man and subject to Passions and to Heat Cold Hunger Thirst and all kinds of Pain even as Man is 377. He that would vanquish his outward Enemies must first overcome those of his own House viz. his unruly Desires and boisterous Passions his raging Lusts and ungovernable Apetite and Affections those being once subdued and brought into Obedience he will easily Triumph over all the Stratagems of the World and Temptations of Satan 378. Patience Humility and Innocency are the only Bulwarks that can withstand Enmity and Wrath consider that Light is the cause and medium whereby Darkness is known be governed therefore by the Light and then all the Deeds of Darkness will be manifest unto thee 379. But he that is govern'd by the dark Principle whence Contention and Strife do arise knows not the Light either in himself or any other thing 380. No Man can Judge truly of another but he that hath first pulled the Beam out of his own Eye 381. Above all Swear not rashly and wickedly by the Name of the great God that Created both the Heavens and the Earth and all the wonderful Creatures therein contained for a Man cannot dishonour and provoke his Creator more highly than to Blaspheme his Holy Name 382. Keep a continual watch against all Evils but especially against those Sins which by thy Complexion Constitution Calling Conversation or course of Life thou art most enclinable unto or in danger of 383. Let Passionate and Chollerick Men when they are in a composed frame of Spirit and the Light of Understanding shines and bares rules in their Souls oblige themselves by secret Promises that by permission of the Lord when ever they shall find themselves moved to Wrath or Passion then the better to prevent such outrages against God and their own Souls they will withdraw themselves out of Company read a Chapter in the Bible or stand still in silence for one quarter of an Hour in which time the light of Wisdom will arise in their Hearts and Souls and dissipate allay or moderate the Fumes of these Perturbations and irregular Motions 384. Let such as are inclined to Drunkenness speedily and at once resolve to Drink no strong Drink nor any Liquor but pure Water which will cut off all such evil Inclinations in the very Bud. 385. Those that are inclined to Women let them resolve to drink small Drink or Water use a spare Diet and Eat mean and simple Foods practise proper Exercises and Labour rise early in the Morning resist vain and idle Imaginations as soon as they offer themselves to the Mind and above all keep virtuous Men Company and refrain as much as in them lies the conversation of such Women as are subject to Lewdness 386. There is no Man by his Birth or his Estate priviledged to be idle for the Command is Universal to all the Children of Adam in the sweat of thy Brows thou shalt Eat thy Bread and he that will not labour in some kind or other for the good of Mankind is not worthy to Eat or Live therefore let all Gentlemen who too generally subject themselves to an idle Life that proves an in-let to many other erronious Evils know that they have no exemption or excuse from proper Exercises and useful Labours in the fight of the Lord. 387. Therefore to prevent the Sin and Evil of Idleness rich People should do well to divide the day and a-lot so many Hours to Meditation and reading of good Books Gardening Pruning of Trees visiting relieving and instructing their Poor Neighbours and other works of Charity and Mercy 388. Let all Men remember that they have and injoy nothing that they can call their own but all is Gods even themselves their Lands their Goods and all they possess and that he reassumes the same when he pleaseth to whom they will have a sad and dreadful account to render for the Use if they neglect to improve them much more if they waste and abuse them to gratifie their own Lusts and Vanities 389. Know for a certain that both good and evil Angels are continually conversant in innumerable Troops round about the Sons of Men alluring them to good or evil 390. Some may suppose this to be but a mere Fancy because we see them not but let such consider that the adorable Creator that has made all these wonderful Things we behold hath created many more
