Direct. 19. Do all the good you can to others; God hath made every creature useful. The Sun has not its light for it self but for us, the fountain runs free, & the Myrrh drops from the Tree; every creature doth as it were deny it self for us, the Beast gives its labour, the Bird gives us its Music, the silk worm gives us its silk; has God made everything useful for us, and shall not we be useful to one another! O be helpful to the souls of others, and supply the wants of others. Jesus Christ was a public blessing in the World, he went about doing good, Act. 10. 38. we are all Members of one body politic, nay are not we all members of one body mystical, and shall not every Member be useful for the good of the body! that is a dead member that does not communicate to the body. Be useful, that when you die there may be a miss of you when you are gone; many live so unfruitful, that their life is scarce worth a prayer, or their death worth a tear.
