Prin. 3. That nothing is well done except it be Religiously done. Do all in the name of the Lord Jesus. Whatever you do, do all to the glory of God, 1 Cor. 10. 31. Col. 3. 17. Remember, that the rules of Religion do not only reach your praying, hearing, almsgiving, &c. but your eating, drinking, trading, marrying. You must not think to put off God with an hour in the morning, and an hour in the evening; you must be serving him throughout the day, managing your callings, visits, discourses, according to his rules. Count that arrow lost, that is not levelled at some Religious end; that hour lost that is not spent Religiously, that visit lost, in which you have not promoted the ends of Religion in your selves and friends. Count that you eat amiss, unless you eat Religiously. So much of Religion as there is in your actions, so much there is of true gold, so much as there is of self and carnal ends, so much embasing mettle is mingled therewith; your lying down, and rising up must be managed Religiously, or else they are not well managed; and you must impose it upon your selves, to be serving God not only on your knees, but in your shops, at your Tables, in your journeys, that God ⟨p. 270⟩may be glorified by you in all things.
