Four useful discourses viz. ... /Four usefull discourses viz. ... /

And I told you that from the word in my Text, I am instructed, so it is in your Books; but in the Original it is, I am taught as in a mystery; so that there is a mystery in both these. I have shown you in many things wherein the mystery of Godliness lies in learning how to be content. A godly man knows how to abound after another manner than any other can do. Perhaps a man by some strength of natural prudence and wisdom may know how to order his Estate, so as not to be very inordinate and wicked in the management of his outward estate. A man that hath civility and natural wisdom, may make some good use of the blessings of God, that God hath given him: But a gracious heart comes to sanctify the name of God in his estate and outward blessings that God hath given him, in another manner than natural wisdom will teach a man. Grace will raise a mans spirit higher, and that in these particulars,
