2. Get thy heart tenderly affected with the welfare of all things that bear the stamp and image of God.
3. Study thy own place and capacity that God hath put thee in in this world; for suitable to thy place are thy work and opportunities.
4. Make provision beforehand, that when things present themselves, thou mayst come up to a good performance: be prepared for every good work.
5. Take heed of carnal reasonings; keep the heart tender, but set thy face like a flint for God.
6. And look well to the manner of every duty.
GOOD WORKS.
To stoop low is a good work, if it be done in faith and love; though but by a cup of cold water, it is really more worth in itself, and of higher esteem with God, than all worldly and perishing glory.
When holiness is lovely and beautiful to the soul, and when the name of Christ is more precious than life, then will the soul sit down and be afflicted, because men keep not God's law. "I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved, because they kept not thy word." Psalm 119:158.
The heart that is fullest of good works has in it the least room for
Satan's temptations.
Souls rightly touched, will labor to draw not only their families, but a whole city after Christ. John 4:28, 29.
