Direction 5.

Set hefore your selves the examples of other Saints there is a cloud of witnesses gone before you: men that under all sorts of difficulties and temptations have been exercising Faith: remember how Abraham ⟨p. 347⟩believed the Lord, and it was counted unto him for righteousness, how Job carried himself when he says, tho' he slay me, yet I will trust in him, how David says, why art thou cast down O my Soul, hope in God, how Jonah recovers himself: yet will I look again toward thy Holy Temple: such examples may be great inducements and helps to you to follow their example: these examples are very quickening and full of argument; they are very helpful to strengthen your Faith; several ways.
