Dear Friends, let it be more then ever your great work, and business, to keep your selves in case and capacity to enjoy his blessed company and Fellowship: And in order to this end. 1. Study to keep your selves through Grace as chaste virgins to Christ Jesus, as your one Husband, let him be to you as the loving Hart and Pleasant Roe, let his embraces satisfy you at all times, and be ye always ravished with his love, and beware of embracing the bosom of a stranger, let him be to you as a bundle of Myrrh lying all night betwixt your breasts, be for him and not for another, so shall he be for and with you, resting in his ⟨image 10⟩love and rejoicing over you with singing. 2. Touch no unclean thing, hate the very garment spotted with the flesh, abstain tenderly from all appearance of evil: O defile not those Temples of the living God, of the Holy Ghost, which Temples ye are: let no unclean thing be harboured or tolerated there, nothing that may provoke him to leave or loath his dwelling and Temple, nothing that may make his abode in them grievous, unpleasant, loathsome, or wearisome to him. 3. Let all his Ordinances, and duties of his worship be high in your esteem, and much commended and even endeared to your hearts, as means of Communion and fellowship with him: O be much in love with the habitation of his house and the place where his Honour dwells; let his Tabernacles be very Amiable to you: these are his haunt, and let them be yours. 4. Beware of all sinful dalliances with Idols, whereby the Soul is estranged from Communion with God, for there is no agreement betwixt the Temple of God and Idols: from love to fellowship with him and from zeal to his Glory, bid them all, with indignation, be gone, saying to them, what have we any more to do with Idols? and as to a menstruous cloth, get you hence. 5. When He hides his face, withdraws his presence, and suspends you from fellowship with him, be troubled, arise, shake off laziness, sloth and security, be Holily restless, and go the round (as it were) of all Commanded duties, till you find him, seek him diligently in the night watches on your bed, go forth to the streets and broad places, go to the watch men, and seek him whom your Souls love: you will have gone but a little and you shall find him, and when you have found him, hold him and let him not go, do not awake nor raise him, till he please. 6.
