1And from this duty, let us be brought to a holy use of soliloquies: checking and shaming our selves for following these pleasures, for unthankfulness, and want of cheerfulness, as David why art thou cast down O my soul, why art thou so disquieted? By these recollections a Christian is indeed himself, and for the present, even seated in heaven.

1In the last place besides ejaculations, use daily a set prayer: for thereby we ascend into heaven, and are fitted thereby to be more and more heavenly, its the trade of Citizens that make them rich, this is our trade, to trade by prayer, with that heavenly City, where our treasure is, and by it we shall grow daily in riches. Thus is our soul strengthened, and our affections stirred up to converse with God, and thus come we to set our faith in heaven, together with our love, where our father is, where Angels and Saints, our City, and eternal ⟨p. 221⟩happiness is, thus is our hope strengthened, which carries us through all afflictions undauntedly, and so is a heaven to us before hea•ven: and thus are our desires in heaven, to be at rest, to be with Christ, which is best of all.
