4. Meditation produceth Reformation, Psal. 119. 59. I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy Testimonies. Did but people meditate on the damnableness of sin; did they but think when they meddle with it, there is a Rope at the end of it, which will hang them eternally in Hell; they would break off a course of sinning, and become ⟨p. 55⟩new Creatures. Let all this persuade to holy meditation. I dare be bold to say, if men would spend but one quarter of an hour every day in contemplating heavenly objects, it would leave a mighty impression upon them, and through the blessing of God might prove the beginning of an happy conversion.

Let all this perswade to holy meditation.
