you is that which you must pay your King I know you need no Incitements to this Duty else I would insist longer upon it but I conceive it mine to recommend it to you as the Earthly thing which in the first place you ought to study Next unto that prefer your Duty to the preservation of the House of Hamilton to all things else in this World and make no difference in the testimonies of your kindness to it whether the Lord shall think fit to continue the memory of that House in your own or my dear Brothers Issue And I do conjure you if you have any respect to my desires not to suffer any difference or mistakes to arise betwixt you and them but remember him who prefer'd me to them and what consequently my Duty and yours is to his Next I recommend to you the care of the Education of our Children for the Lords sake study to get them acquainted with God in their young years and to imprint his fear in their tender hearts keep all light and idle company from them and labour to make them rich in Piety and Vertue Loyal to their King and dutiful to the House of Hamilton As I hope all my Friends and Kindred will be dutiful to you so I intreat you for my sake continue your respects and kindness to them Be careful to keep none but pious and discreet Servants in your Family that the Lord being served and worshipped in it according to his Will may delight to dwell in it and to bless every member of it And now Sweet Heart seeing you know that these divers years my Life hath been a burden to me receive my Removal as a Mercy from God with that moderation which he commandeth and the hope of a Ioyful meeting in our Resurrection perswadeth being confident that the Lord hath placed me in Eternal Happiness with himself in Heaven where he hath already laid up some pieces of my self little James and Diana The Lord who hath wounded you bind up your sores and pour the Balm of Gilead in your Heart even the Comforts of the Holy Spirit in the assurance of the Remission of your sins and peace with him in Iesus Christ that his Grace in you may shine to the World in a godly and vertuous Life which having finished in his fear you may hereafter enter with him into that Glory which I trust in the Mercies and Mediation of Iesus Christ my Redeemer I shall be shareing of when you shall be reading these last words and expressions from Dear Heart Your HAMILTON THe Dispositions which you made to me of your Lands in England I do here again return to you to be disposed upon by you as you shall think fit being confident that you will not wrong the House of Hamilton or your Children in the Disposal thereof The Conclusion I shall conclude this Work with these Papers which though some nice Palats may think not so fit for the Publick and better for private Closets than the World yet I could not be of that opinion for in an Age in which the sense of Piety and Religion is so much decayed I thought such testimonies to the Power of it were not to be suppressed by which it will appear that a high-spirited and Great Person who had tasted of all the Follies that bewitch the greatest part of men did in end in the vigour of his Years and Spirits abandon them with all the seriousness of a hearty and lively Repentance and found in God and true Religion such solid satisfaction and joy as did wholly overcome him and engage him into a course of strict Piety and of a holy Life I wish this may work some effect upon a loose and debauched Generation and if the World becomes either better or wiser through my pains I have gained my chief end and design in this Work THE END THE CONTENTS Lib.
