Christianus per ignem. Or, A disciple warming of himself and owning of his Lord: with devout and useful meditations, fetched out of the fire, by a Christian in a cold season, sitting before it. A work though never out of season, yet more particularly, designed for the seasonable and profitable entertainment, of them that would well employ their leisure [sic] by the fire-side. : [Three lines in Latin from Alsted]Christianus per ignem.

Meditation XXXVIII.
On the Fire brands.
Retiring to my Rest, I am very particularly careful, That the Fire brands do no mischiefs. How carefully do I separate these Fire brands, and Lodge them in several places and postures, and perhaps cover some of them ⟨p. 189⟩with Ashes, through' a Fear lest before I return, they lay all in Ashes.
