Small offers towards the service of the tabernacle in the wilderness four discourses accommodated unto the designs of practical godliness : preached partly at Boston, partly at Charleston / by Cotton Mather ; published by a gentleman lately restored from threatening sickness as a humble essay to serve the interest of religion, in gratitude unto God for his recovery.

Direction I.
Let us Discern our Time▪ and not Mis-spend our Time. Avoid those Time-wasting things, ⟨p. 73⟩Which would serve us about our Time, as the High-way men did the poor Traveller in Luc. 10. 30. in his way to Jericho. We are all Travelling in the the way to Eternity; there are these and those Robbers in the way that would plunder us of our time: shun them, fly them. Count Mis-spenc• of Time one of the most wicked and woeful follies in the world.
