First, I beseech you, keep your constant hours every day with God; the Godly man is a man set apart, Psal. 4.3. not only because God hath set him apart by election, but because he hath set himself apart by devotion; give God the Aurorae fitiam, begin the day with God, visit God in the morning before you make any other visit; wind up your hearts towards Heaven in the morning, and they will go the better all the day after: Oh! turn your Closets into Temples, read the Scriptures; ⟨image 76⟩the two Testaments are the two lips by which God speaks to us; these will make you wise unto salvation: the Scripture is both a glass to show you your spots, and a laver to wash them away; besiege Heaven every day with prayer, thus perfume your houses, and keep a constant intercourse with Heaven.
