I do not know any one better means for the keeping up Religion in this Nation, than for Masters of Families to be conscientious in the discharging of this duty:
I do not know any one better means for the keeping up Religion in this Nation, than for Masters of Families to be consciencious in the discharging of this duty:
Be good in bad times; be patterns of good works to those that shall behold you. Let no reproach or obloquy make you to abate your exact walking with God; whatever you meet withal in the ways of holiness and a strict life, say, If this be to be vile, I will be more vile. Make conscience of a strict observation of the Lords day; take heed of that Sacrilege of stealing away holy times; of prostituting that to common and civil uses, which is impropriated and dedicated to the service of God.

Pray for, and love all those that have been instrumental for your spiritual good in the work of the Ministry, whatever dirt is now thrown in their faces, and though you never get more good by them.
