1. Upon our first waking in the morning, meditate how the Lord can at the last day as easily raise up our dead bodies from the dust, as he hath now awaked us out of sleep; and as now we rise from the grave our bed, so then we must arise from that bed our grave.
2. Upon sight of the morning sky, meditate, That if one Sun make so bright a morning, what a shining morning will that be when Christ (the Son of Righteousness) shall appear, attended with all his bright Angels, Archangels, Cherubims, Seraphims, Bodies and Souls of Saints? When there shall be as many Suns on a day, as there are stars on a bright winters night.
3. Upon the occasions of the day, meditate, how the Lord seeth us, and understands all our thoughts, and is acquainted with all our ways:1 The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in behalf of them, whose heart is perfect towards him, and therefore we should do all things as in the awful presence of God.
