His admirable Industry a very learned and worthy friend in the University whose thoughts of Mr. Bright I desired because if I may bee bold to use his expression Good Astronomers are in this case to bee imitated who chuse to take the altitude of a star at two several stations that they may make the more steady judgement gave me this account of his industry for one whole year I think the last of his residence there hee discharged all these several imployments viz. preaching once every Lords day in Trinity Church besides Catechizing there frequently in the afternoon explaining the Commandements examining the younger and more ignorant sort to whom hee gave Catechismes also preaching in the Colledge once every fourteen night and moderating Divinity Disputations both which were his charge as Dean of that Colledge besides the care of his Pupils above thirty which was continually upon him who fared very little the worse for all his other business I humbly propose this to the consideration of all pious and conscientious men in the University into whose hands these papers shall come Nor must I forget his diligence in instructing Colledge servants and constant attendants upon young Scholars wherein they that knew his practice know hee was very exemplary Nor must I forget his readiness to visit the meanest man or woman in Town whose necessity required his presence Thus did this good man put the Talents that God gave him to use Idleness is the burial of a living man every where odious but there abominable where sloth will not suffer a man to stir though it bee to save a life No death is cruel enough for that Nurse that lets her childe though it cries starve to death because shee will not be at the pains to pluck out her breast This good man so much abhorred this vice that it might bee said to him what Jethro said to Moses unto whom but that I dare not bee nice and curious I might shew him very parallel Thou wi●● surely wear away Exod. 1● 1● for this thing is too heavy for thee The strict●ess and exactness of his life standing alwayes Sentinel to observe what thoughts appeared in his soul Cum sublatum 〈◊〉 conspectu lumen est conticuit uxor moris jam mei ●onse ia totum diem mecum scrutor facta ac dicta mea ●emetior nihil mihi ipse abscondo nihil transeo quare enim quicquam ex e●●oribus meis timeam cum possim dicere vide ne istud amplius facias nunc tibi ignosco in illâ disputatione pugnacius loquutus 〈◊〉 Noli postea congredi cum im perltis N●lu●● diseere qui nunquim dilicerunt in lib. 3. de ira cap. 36 and that hee might secure a good fra●●e of heart and a holy life he kept a constant Di●ry and no day we●t over his head for some years before his sickness but hee called himself to an account that he might see what evill had that day been done what good neglected hee used to record his fins which hee had to consess to make the ●●reams of godly sorrow run fresher to record the mercies hee wanted to make his prayers more importunate to record the mercies hee received to make his thankfulness more hearty and more constant hee used to compare the observations hee made of himself at the latter end of the month with those made in the beginning of it that bee might see whether his sins or his graces had made the greater progress This is a course which no man will long keep but hee that is resolute to follow holiness without which no man can see God 8 His profound humility pictures that have no curtains before them gather nothing but dust and so do their mindes that stand exposed to all mens view and their own too that is a blessed soul which knows how to do good for goodness sake and when it is done by him to bee able to say Not I but the grace of God with wee the sense that Mr. Bright had of his own infirmities together with his contracted melancholly made him more apt to complain than boast It is said Numb 12.3 that the man Moses was meek above all the men of the earth Meekness was Moses his great perfection and when our Saviour proposeth himself as a pattern hee saith Learn of mee for I am meek and lowly It is admirable when wee receive many mercies to see our selves lesse than the least of them

Jeroboam fears that the hearts of the people will return to Rehoboam if they should go up to Jerusalem to offer sacrifice and therefore hee sets up two golden Calves 1 King 12.27 The Jews are afraid if they suffer Christ to proceed in his Doctrine and Miracles all would beleeve on him and the Romans would come and take away their Kingdome These instances makes that truth evident which Solomon hath recorded Prov. 10 24. That which the wicked fears shall come upon him yea his own policy to prevent it shall be the means to bring it the Israelites increase the more for their affliction Exod. 1.12 Jeroboams family is therefore rejected 1 King 14.8 9 10. The Jewes are destroyed by the Romans for crucifying Jesus Christ and have ever since continued the scorn of the world so God in his dealing with his people in waies of mercy chuses not the means which they think most but least on Gideous army is too great

And indeed a right understanding in this point makes the service to bee such as it should bee For hee that looks upon God as a hard Master will either hide the Talent in a Napkin and do nothing or else that which is as good as nothing whilst hee hath better thoughts of sin and the pleasures of this world then hee hath of God and of the rewards which hee will give to them that observe him Gods Creation Preservation and Redemption give him a right to us and make our service necessary but the excellency of his nature the goodness of his worke the future happiness promised make the service cheerful The summe of all is Yee are servants And then your Justice your Ingenuity your Security your Compassion your Glory requires faithfulness I conclude this Consideration with Mr. Perkins Motto Minister Christies hoc age Thou art Christs servant minde thy work We have at length finished the first Consideration which should promote care in Gods service I shall briefly urge the second Consideration 2.
