5. Now it pleaseth God, that Hearing opportunities, at least, some of them are taken from some of us, from many of us, for a time: My Advice and Counsel is, that the less now you hear, the more you will read; read the Word of God much the more, and take all helps for the right understanding of what you read. The Book of Annotations is a great help to enlighten you to understand the Scripture; and next to the reading of the Scriptures, what spare hours you have, I would advise you to bestow your time in reading of the Book of Martyrs; a Book that hath formerly been more prized, than of late in England. Especially, read that part of it which contains the History of Queen Mary's days; they will inform you of the great controversies that are between us and the Papists; and they will inform you what you shall answer; the reading how cheerfully they went to Prison, and to the Stake, will embolden you against the fears of sufferings, and death; and the reading of their Letters, will be a great means to edify, and build you up. This reading of the Scriptures, and other good Books, is my fifth advice to you.
