1 Before the Paroxisme cometh, prepare and antidote thy Soul against these lusts of the flesh by observing these advices.

Rule. 1 The first is that noble counsel of Eliphaz to Job, cap. 22. vers. 21. Acquaint thy self now with God, and be at peace. Get thy heart fixed where thy treasure is; have thy conversation in heaven, and thy fellowship with the father, and with his son Jesus Christ: Flee to thy God to hide thee. He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most high, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust, his truth shall be thy shield and buckler, Psal. 91.1, 3, 4. Arise with thine arisen Lord, and seek the things that are above: Set thine affections there; where Christ sits at the right hand of God. If the Soul is not where it animates, but where it loves, awaken thin•, and kindle it into holy passionate Ecstasies of love, that thou mayest live in heaven all day long, and (which is the privilege of the upright, Psal. 140, 13.) dwell in the presence of that God whom thy soul delighteth in. The Tempter cannot reach thee there.
