1.1 The covenant you made with God in Baptism. A Christian (saith Chrysostom) should never step out of doors, or lye down in his bed, or go into his closet, but he should remember that word Abrenuncio; that is, He should remember the time when he did renounce the Devil and all his works. Oh let us not forget that which we ought always to remember! Let us remember to keep that Covenant, as ever we desire God should remember us in mercy at the great day.

2.1 The covenants which we have made unto God in our afflictions. Famous is that passage of Pliny in one of his Epistles to one that desired rules from him how to order his life aright. I will (saith he) give you one rule which shall be instead of a thousand; Ut tales esse perseveremus sani, quales nos futuros esse profitemur infirmi. That we should persevere to be such when we are well, as we promise to be when we are sick. A sentence never to be forgotten. The Lord help us to live accordingly.
