The Grace and Duty of Being Spiritually Minded

What of God or in God we are to think and meditate upon. His Being; Reasons of it; Oppositions to it; the way of their Conquest. Thoughts of the Omnipresence, and Omniscience of God, peculiarly necessary. The Reasons hereof. As also of his Omnipotency. The Use and Benefit of such Thoughts.

These things mentioned have been premised in General, as unto the nature, manner and way of exercise of our Thoughts on God. That which remains is to give some particular instances, of what we are to think upon in an especial manner; and what we will be conversant withal in our Thoughts, if so be we are Spiritually ⟨p. 150⟩minded. And I shall not insist at present on the things which concern his Grace and Love in Christ Jesus, which belong unto another head, but on those which have an Immediate respect unto the Divine Nature it self, and its holy essential Properties.
