And if ye Ask more particularly; what that is? I shall show you, in what respect a Christian may be said to have and should have his Conversation in Heaven. And First; in respect of the inward Holy frame and Divine se•t of his heart: he should be Heavenly in that: free from those distempering Passions, that the men of this world are subjected, nay enslaved unto and hurried with: He should not have his affections dragging on the earth, nor his delights, nor desires taken up with things earthly: but he should be Mortified unto and weaned from all those things: He should not be like unto those who on all occasions are tossed with their humours and with every wind of temptation: but he should be so calm, Composed and sober, settled and fixed in a Heavenly temper of Spirit, that words of reproach may not much trouble him, nor crosses and afflictions much disquiet him: he should have such composure and sedatness of spirit, that he may be much above the levity and unstayedness that the men of the world are under the power of, and he should endeavour to be defecate and purged from those impure mixtures of self-interests, that are regnant in worldly men.

Joining with the four beasts and four and twenty Elders; saying, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty: to be much in prizing and valuing of God, in setting out and commending him: to be in all duties willing and cheerful, doing Gods will cheerfully and with alacrity: to be much in longing for the Sabbath to converse more closely with him: longing often for privacy and retirement to pour out the heart before him:
