19. Do all the good you can while you live to others; God hath made every Creature useful for us, the Sun hath not its light for it self, but for us, the Fountains run freely, and so doth the myrrh drop from the Tree: every Creature doth as it were deny its self for us, the Beast gives us its labour, the Bird gives us its music, & the Silk-worm its silk. Now hath God made every thing useful for us, and shall not we be useful one for another? O labour to be helpful to the souls of others, and to supply the wants of others: Jesus Christ was a public blessing in the World, He went about doing good. We are Members of the Body politic, nay, we are Members of the Body mystical, and shall not every Member be helpful for the good of the body? That is a dead Member ⟨image 79⟩that doth not communicate to the good of the body. O labour to be useful to others while you live, that so when you dye, there may be a miss of you, many live so unfruitfully, that truly their life is scarce worth a prayer, nor their death scarce worth a tear.
