Use 1 Instruction, to repair to God in all our ways, and be religious not only in works of Religion, but in every other action and exercise. Our refreshings, our civill employments, our ordinary and common vocations, though never so mean, will call upon us to crave help from heaven, and to be serviceable to our heavenly Father, if we mind to show more obedience than the wicked, and to obtain a better condition than the Infidels. Remember what the Apostle saith to Christians that be faithful, and believers, Whether ye 1eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
