3. Make up the want of former affections in solidity of knowledge and judgement; and if the candle give not so great a blaze, let it give a more clear and constant light.
4 Labour to keep up the primitive vigour of your affections.
1. Remember you may lose that in a short time, which you may be a long time in recovering. A man may lose more strength in one weeks sickness, then many months will make reparation. A wound may be quickly made, but not so soon cured. Philosophers will tell us, that the way from the habit to the privation is far easier, then from the privation to the habit; it is far easier to make a seeing man blind, then to make a blind man see; so it is far easier to lose our holy affections, then it is to recover them.
