Direct. I. Begin at Home in provoking to good. Why should God plead with you? Thou that teachest another, Teacheth thou not thyself? Rom. 2.21. Be an Example of thine own Rule, else the ⟨p. 41⟩Hypocrites Charge will come in against thee, Mat. 23.4. They bind heavy Burdens, but evil not touch them with one of their Fingers. Observe God's Order, Deut 6.6, 7. These Words which I command thee, shall be in thine Heart. That must be our first Care. And then having got our Lesson well ourselves, we must then teach it to others. And thou shalt teach them diligently to thy Children, and tell of them what thou, &c. At least if thou hast not already attained it, be sure to learn with the first; and when thou pressest a Duty, intend thyself first, and speak most to thine own Heart.
