They would improve all the means and opportunities they had for to give content to the flesh, so that they were filled. Thus you see men that love to live in the satisfaction of the flesh up to the height of their means, according to all means that they have to satisfy the flesh, this way, or the other way, they will be sure to have satisfaction if it be to be had; therefore you shall see men that have estates, they please the flesh to the uttermost they can think of; if they go abroad and see any thing that may give content to the flesh, they resolve to have it if they can when they come home. According to all the means that they have so they will have the flesh satisfied. Oh! how happy were men if they were so wise for their souls, if according to the means of grace we sought to fill our souls: Oh how doth the Lord ⟨p. 455⟩lead us in green Pastures, and yet what empty souls have we!
