15. Learn the holy skill of improving every condition that God shall cast you into; learn how to live to God in every condition: • you have skill and heart, there is advantage to be got by all; that prosperity may strengthen you in God, encourage you in his service; that adversity may wean you from the world, help you to repentance, raise you ⟨p. 169⟩to God, and give you more then it took away. Know the danger and duty of every condition, study them before they come upon you, that they do not surprise you: learn to know what's the danger, duty, and ▪particular temptation of every condition, and in that condition▪ you are most likely to expect a fall into: prepare for affliction as the common lot of the Saints, take it as no strange thing when it overtakes you: know how to abound and how to want.
