The Practice of Piety

1 Do no evil, though thou mightest, for GOD will not suffer the least sin (without bitter repentance) to escape unpunished. ⟨p. 380⟩Leave not undone any good that thou canst. But do nothing without a calling, nor any thing in thy calling, till thou have first taken counsel at Gods Word, ¹of the lawfulness thereof, and prayed for his blessing upon thy endeavour, and then do it, in the name of God, with cheerfulness of heart, committing the success unto him; in whose power it is, to bless with his grace, whatsoever business is intended to his glory.
