either by Tongue or Pen for That will Provoke the LORD's Anger against you and bring Reproach and Trouble upon your Parents who always Disliked yea Abhorred such things 11. BE careful your Hearts and Minds be kept Clean within and then you need not be Advised to have your Words and Actions Clean without for that will unavoidably follow 12. BE not hasty in Reproving or Correcting of any but if call'd thereto let it be in Love and in Wisdom and if the Offence be Great let it be with Severity yet not in Anger or Passion for That will Harden them against you and so instead of bettering them you will thereby become Transgressors your selves 13. BEWARE that your Wills bear not Rule in any case but let Truth and Righteousness always be the Sway of your Judgments then will you be deliver'd from that great Iniquity which hath so deeply Corrupted many 14. BE sure you have regard to the Oppressed and take heed how you make Advantage of Anothers Necessity but rather Consider how you may be Helpful unto them always remembering the Parable of the good Samaritan Luk. 10.33 15. BE Cautious for Whom you are Engag'd or unto Whom you are Oblig'd for such things do often prove Snares But be more ready to Give than to Receive and yet be sure to Acknowledg the least Kindness for Ingratitude is hateful 16. BE not Self-ended neither spend too much upon your own Particulars either in Meats Drinks Clothing or any thing else for That may be a hinderance to the Good you should do but rather be Sparing in That which relates to your Selves that you may be in the better capacity to do the Good you ought to perform to Others 17. BE not found in many Needless Words neither Contend with such as are in them for That begets Strife But as They out of the Evil that is in their Hearts bring forth Evil things so do You out of the Good that is in yours bring forth Good things 18. BE not grasping after Earthly Concerns for They bring Trouble and Sorrow and yet how many through their Eager Desires after such things have choaked that Good which once stirred in them Wherefore take Warning and learn this as a Truth Experienc'd by Me that a Little will Satisfy a Contented Mind 19. BE not desirous after that Knowledg which will lift and puff up your Minds neither be too Prying into those Mysteries that are hid but if the LORD should Reveal any thing unto You be sure of Leave When and to Whom to Impart it not daring either to Add or Diminish for That has been and is this Day a great and sore Evil. 20. BUT lest through many Words your Minds should be drawn forth and as but too too many have been hurt thereby it 's with me to Conclude with those Two Great and Weighty Commandments viz. the First is You shall Love the LORD with all your Hearts with all your Souls and with all your Strength And the Second is like unto it You shall Love your Neighbours as your Selves For upon these Two Commandments depends All that can be Written or Spoken concerning your Duties either to GOD or Men. CHAP. III. Hear Me your Father O Children and do thereafter that you may be Safe Ec. III. 1. 1. IF you come to Serve the LORD prepare your Souls for Temptation Set your Hearts aright and Constantly endure and make not haste in time of Trouble 2. WHATSOEVER is brought upon you take Chearfully For as Gold is Tried in the Fire so are Acceptable Men in the Furnace of Adversity 3. SO incline your Ears unto Wisdom and apply your Hearts to Understanding and seek Her as Silver and search for Her as for hid Treasures Then shall you Understand the Fear of the LORD and find the Knowledg of GOD. 4. HAPPY is the Man that findeth Wisdom and the Man that getteth Understanding But where is Wisdom to be found and where is the place of Vnderstanding The Fear of the LORD that is Wisdom and to depart from Evil that is Vnderstanding 5. WISDOM exalteth Her Children and layeth hold of them that seek Her they that love Her love Life and they that seek Her early shall be filled with Joy and wheresoever She entereth the LORD will Bless and if you commit your selves unto Her you shall inherit Her But at the first She will Walk with you by Crooked Ways and bring Fear and Dread upon you and Torment you with her Discipline until She can Trust your Souls and Try you by Her Laws Then will She return the Streight Way unto you and Comfort you and Shew you of Her Secrets But if you go Wrong She will Forsake you and give you over to your own Ruin MY Love is Sincere to All that in Uprightness of Heart Serve the LORD in what Profession or Perswasion of Religion soever well knowing that 't is Those and only Those that Love Fear and Obey HIM and do the Things that are Just and Right amongst Men that are Accepted of HIM at this Day FOR What doth the LORD require of Thee O Man but to do Justly to love Mercy and to walk Humbly before HIM HAPPY is he that shall be Exercised in these things and he that layeth them up in his Heart shall become Wise POSTSCRIPT Judge Hale's Cont. p. 373. c. THERE is nothing in the World conduceth more to the Composure and Tranquillity of the Mind than the Serenity and Clearness of the Conscience keep but That Safe and Untainted the Mind will enjoy a Calm and Tranquillity in the midst of all the Storms of the World And although the Waves beat and the Sea works and the Winds blow the Mind that hath a Quiet and Clear Conscience within will be as Stable and as Safe from Perturbation as a Rock in the midst of a Tempestuous Sea and will be a Goshen to and within it self when the rest of the World without is like an Aegypt for Plagues and Darkness WHATEVER thou dost Hazard or Lose keep the Integrity of thy Conscience both before Troubles come and under them it is a Jewel will make thee Rich in the midst of Poverty a Sun that will give thee Light in the midst of Darkness a Fortress that will keep thee Safe in the greatest Danger and that is never to be taken from thee unless thou thy self Betray it and Deliver it up THE END
