Fourthly, Have I come into no Company but I have dropped something of God there, and left some good savour behind? O what a shame is it that Christians should be so unlike themselves! that when they come into company, it cannot be seen who is the Christian, and who is not! O how should we be ashamed of this, that we should be ashamed of our God! O That thou wouldst make conscience of this, not to come ⟨p. 24⟩•nto any company, but to drop something of God there.

Fifthly, For your Tables.
First, Did not I sit down with no higher end than a beast, merely to please my appetite? Did I eat, and drink for the glory of God? you cannot know what it is to be a Christian, till you come to do all things by Rule. Make conscience of this, to set your ends right when you sit down to your Tables.
