Profitable for all such as heartily desire the same: in the which, more particularly true Christians may learn how to lead a godly and comfortable life every day.

He that faithfully useth the daily direction set down before, or the like,1 shall be furnished daily with the munition that a Christian shall need against his greatest enemies, and (as I have said) shall find rest to his soul daily: which §Eotherwise is not to be found nor enjoyed constantly of any, neither the beauty and felicity of a godly life in any sort possessed as it may. For though I dream of no perfection in this life, yet he that walketh in this royal way, shall not doubt where he is, and whether he be out of his way; as other shall from time to time: he shall be accompanied throughout the day and from day to day, with faith, hope, love, humility, meekness, righteousness, uprightness, patience, temperance, somewhat armed against trouble, having ⟨p. 412⟩the word (according to the measure of his knowledge and faith) ready to §Fguide him what to follow and what to refuse.
