power into a&ion, out of darknefs into light. Thyfcope therefore ought to be , that thou have the names of the Spi- rits, that is, their powers and offices, and how they are fub- je&ed and appointed by God to miniQer unto thee ; even as Raphael wis fent to Tobias , that he fliould heal his father, and deliver his fon from dangers , and bring him to a wife.

Aphor.iq.
Thy foul liveth for ever , through him that hath created thee : call therefore upon the Lord thy God, and him onely (halt thou ferve. This thon fhalt do , if thou wilt perform that end for which thou art ordained of God, and what thou oweft to God and to thy neighbour. God requireth of thee aminde,thatthoufhouldeft honour his Son , and keep the words of his Son in thy heart : if thou honour him, thou haft done the will of thy Father which is in heaven. To thy neighbour thou oweft offices of humanity , and that thou draw all men that come to thee , to honour the Son. This is the Law and the Prophets. In temporal things, thou oughteft to call upon God as a father, that he would give unto thee ali neceflarics of this life : and thou oHghteflt to help thy neighbour with the gifts which God beftoweth up- on thee, whether they be fpiruual or corporal.
