The great and weighty Judgments of God that are upon us, may help to fix us, and hang lead upon our heels.
In case you are to come to Meditation, or any other Work, come free, and don't leave any business standing at the Door: for a hundred to one, but your hearts will step out unto it, at the time of your Work, whether Meditation, or Prayer, or any thing else. Therefore come free unto every Duty, if you would be fixed.
In case you are to come to Meditation, or any other Work, come free, and don't leave any businesse standing at the Door: for a hundred to one, but your hearts will step out unto it, at the time of your Work, whether Meditation, or Prayer, or any thing else. Therefore come free unto every Duty, if you would be fixed.
