214. Were we as loving as God ⟨p. 55⟩is lovely, how (Oh how) infinitely should we love him!
215. To some (as to Dives) death is the end of all comfort, and the beginning of all misery; to others (as to Lazarus) death is the end of all misery, and the beginning of all comfort. Lord, let my condition be such, that at death I may pass from torment to comfort, and not from comfort to torment.

216. Every man loves to be beloved, and is apt to take pleasure in this, that others take pleasure in him; whence that which ought not, doth oft come to pass, men comply with mens humours, and that they may not be thought uncivil will sin for company, and to please others, displease God. Oh Lord, let me never cease to be a good Christian, that I may be thought a good companion. Let me choose rather with Moses to suffer reproaches, then to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; and rather ⟨p. 56⟩go to prison with Joseph, then to live a Laplin to the lust of the eye and the pride of life, or to be lulled and hushed asleep by the fawnings of this worlds flattery; Let it be enough to me to be beloved of God.
