6. 1Be often feeding that frame of heart which God hath taught thee into: do by it, as thou daily beggest God would do by thee; Give it day by day its daily bread; Meditations suitable to the nature of that grace which thou wouldst maintain; threatenings, promises, truths, Scripture-considerations, agreeable to the Lesson: Take heed of feeding corruption with thoughts of the sweetness that is in sin; Take heed of starving grace by withdrawing from it suitable aliment. You will ⟨p. 262⟩require the blood of your Infants that are starved at the Nurses hands: Will not God be much more jealous over the births and issues of his own Spirit? Meditate much upon the Sinfulness of Sin, the Emptiness of the Creature, the Fullness of Christ, the exquisiteness of his Sufferings, the severity of the last Judgment, the torments of Hell, the Joys of Heaven, the infinite Perfections of the Divine Nature, 2and the horror of Eternity. Rich in Meditation, and rich in grace.
