The Fountain of Life Opened

For it not only presses us to holiness in actu primo, in the being of it, but in actu secundo, in the daily exercise and practice of it. Do you indeed expect such a day? O then, First, See you be meek and patient under all injuries and abuses for Christs sake. Avenge not your selves, but leave it to the Lord, who will do it. Don't anticipate the work of God. Be patient my Brethren, to the coming of the Lord, Jam, 5.7, 8, 9. Secondly, Be Communicative public hearted Christians, studying ⟨p. 601⟩and devising liberal things for Christs distressed members. And you shall have both an honourable remembrance of it, and a full reward of it in that day, Matth. 25.34, 35. Thirdly, Be watchful and sober, keep the Golden bridle of moderation upon all your affections. And see that ye be not over charged with the cares and love of this present life, Luk. 21.34, 35. Will you, that your Lord come, and find you in such a posture. O let your moderation be known to all, the Lord is at hand, Phil. 4.5. Fourthly, Improve all your Masters Talents, diligently and §4faithfully. Take heed of the Napkin,
