⟨know⟩ them; but to love them, and to have them ſtill ⟨preſent⟩ with us: The Cares and Thoughts of this (illegible text)e and other Studies and Labours ſteal them out of ⟨our⟩ Sight and View, and our corrupt Inclinations and ⟨Paſſions⟩, prevail ſo much with us, that we often ſtray ⟨from⟩ them; To keep them then is to know, remember, (illegible text)e and obey them.
Open thy Mouth wide.
Most of the Deſires of Men have for their Objects (illegible text)le things: They ſeek for no more but Wealth, ⟨Honour⟩ and Pleaſure, which as they are ſmall things in ⟨themſelves⟩ can be of little uſe to them. GOD would (illegible text)e us to affect, love and deſire greater and better ⟨things⟩ and to dilate our Souls that they may be capable ⟨of receiving⟩ the greateſt Good.
To Walk Uprightly.
⟨Once⟩ the great End & Deſign of a Chriſtian ſhould be ⟨to preach⟩ eternal Life and Bleſſedneſs in GOD, and to ⟨Praiſe⟩ and Honour him; that man (that in the whole ⟨courſe⟩ of his Life looks ſtraight thitherward, and is not ⟨preſſed⟩ by any means to turn off from the purſuit of (illegible text)ſe, and to graſp at other things, and to turn aſide to ⟨choked⟩ Paths, and doth conſtantly and cloſely purſue ⟨loose⟩ Ends ) is ſincere and walks uprightly. He that ⟨conſiders⟩ GOD as his only Good, and loves him above ⟨all⟩ and purſues that one Thing to pleaſe, ſerve, and ⟨honour⟩ him, and enjoy him, walks uprightly.
Isa.
