On the Lords day our mind ought to be so heavenly, as thereby every thing should be done after an heavenly manner: not only works of piety, but also every other work that we do thereon, should be so done. When we first wake, we should call to mind what day it is, and desire God to sanctify us to the duties thereof. Rising out of bed, should bring to our mind the first resurrection out of sin, and the second out of the grave. In apparelling our selves, we should meditate on the adorning of our souls. In washing face and hands, think on the cleansing of our souls. Servants in making and blowing the fire, should thence take occasion of stirring up the fire of Gods Spirit in them. In preparing meat, they should think of the food of their souls. There is nothing which may lawfully be done, from which a pious mind may not draw matter of heavenly meditation: whereby the things from which meditation is drawn, are sanctified.
