Media: the middle things, in reference to the first and last things: or, The means, duties, ordinances, both secret, private and public, for continuance and increase of a godly life, once begun, till we come to Heaven. Wherein are discovered many blessed medium's or duties, in their right method, manner and proceedings; that so a Christian (the spirit of Christ assisting) may walk on in the holy path, which leads from his new birth to everlasting life. / Drawn, for the most part, out of the most eminently pious, and learned writings of our native practical divines: with additionals of his own, by Isaac Ambrose, minister of the Gospel at Preston in Amoundernes.Media: the middle things, in reference to the first and last things: or, The means, duties, ordinances, both secret, private and publike, for continuance and increase of a godly life, once begun, till we come to Heaven.

6. Sobriety of spirit, in the suspending of all rashness of censures, and a patient bearing with some errors and offences, which unavoidably will sometimes fall out: The Apostle had respect unto this, when he admonished the Colossians, To forbear one another, 1& to forgive one another, if any man have a quarrel against any, or a matter of complaint (as the word signifieth) even as Christ forgave you: How quarrellous are some men? How loud and shrill, and ⟨p. 224⟩thunder-stormy in their complaints? on the contrary, heavenly souls resolve to do good, and to suffer evil: Such was Davids carriage towards Shimei, 2and Shimei cursed him: Come out thou bloody man, thou man of Belial: David said no more, but Let him curse, because the Lord had said unto him, Curse David.
