DIRECT. XVI. Let your life on Earth be a conversation in Heaven; by the constant work of1 Faith and Love: even such a faith as maketh things future as now present, and the unseen world as if it were continually open to your sight; and such a Love as makes you long to see the glorious face of God, and the glory of your dear Redeemer, and to be taken up with blessed Spirits in his perfect, endless Love and Praise.

MY Treatise of The Life of Faith, and the fourth Part of The Saints Rest being written wholly or mostly to this use, I must refer the Reader to them, and say no more of it in this Direction.
