It may be, you have Received the Favours of God, on the Waters. Don't Write the memory of them, as on the Waters, and forget the Vows of God that are upon you.
Consider, Heaven as you Haven. And be desirous, that your Soul may like his, in 3 Joh. 2. make a Good Voyage of it. Have an Eye of Daily Observation on the Lord Jesus Christ, as the Sun of Righteousness. Don't neglect the Pole Star of the Scripture. Ply the Pump of Repentance, with continual Zeal to get Sin out of the Hold of the Heart. When the Gales of the Spirit Striving with you, are blowing, Spread the Sails of your Souls before them, and Sail tight before that blessed Wind. Often see What Way you make; and whatever you cast over-board, make no Shipwreck of Faith and a Good Conscience. And so, God Smile upon your Voyages.
