We should not take up this course, as the traveller takes up his cloak, which he ⟨p. 37⟩wears in a storm, but throws off when the Sun shines. This is a duty as well in prosperity, as in adversity. It is Summer-fruit as well as winter-fruit. And I pray God, that neither summers heat, may be able to blast, nor winters cold be able to kill those good beginnings of reformation, that are now, to be found among us. I am afraid, that when God hath broken off one yoke from our necks, we shall cast away another. When God shall break off the cords of the wicked from us, we shall cast away the cord of duty from us. I pray God, that when we come into Canaan, we may not forget nor cast off what we promised in the wilderness. Remember it is for your life. I shall press this upon you in the words of the Apostle, 1 Cor. 15. 58. Therefore my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, &c.
