The travels of true godliness, from the beginning of the world to this present…

Thoughtful, Truly Sir, now I, think of it, I hope, I have, but he has been here but a little time, if I have found him, and God knows too much neglected by me, for I did not understand its great worth till now. But pray wherein will he be so useful to me: What are his Properties?

Godly. Why he commonly stirs up men to do what they can to open the door to me, he is a great enemy to Sloth and Idleness, causing men to watch their hearts, and keep the door of their mouths; he makes them rise betimes in the morning to call upon God, and to read God's Word, and pry into it very diligently, and also to do what they can to bridle all the unruly passions of their hearts; he will cause thee to incline thy ear to what Conscience says, and make thee tremble at his Reproofs and Accusations when you sin against God, if you will but take his Counsel. He will also cause thee to go to hear Sermons, and not to sleep when you come there, nor neglect nor slight Convictions, nor be careless and remiss in any duty, and will put thee in a way to kill the Old-man with all his deeds.
