Some Counsils let me leave with you.
1. Do nothing which you are unwilling that ever the World should know that you have done that thing. For it is certain that at the day of Judgment all will be known: Even Every Work whether it be good, or whether it be evil. All the passages of your lives wherever you have been, will be called over. They are all Written down in a Book. Rev. 20. 12. The Jews have an apprehension that the Angels write down all the Works of men, and will produce them at the day of Judgment▪ To be sure, God Writes them down, and Conscience will remember them, and the World will hear of them. This is a Good Rule for every man to remember; It […] would not have it known that such a thing ha's been done by me, then never let me do it If Young men would remember this, it would keep them from committing many a sin. Remember therefore the Words of the Lord Jesus Christ, who ha's said. ⟨p. 60⟩There is nothing Covered that shall not be Revealed, neither hid that shall not be known Luk. 12. 2.
