to forsee and consider the everlasting fire of hell.
To pray for pardon before the Judge to come.
To have continually to mind the passion Christ suffered for me;
For his benefits incessantly to give Him thanks;
To buy the time again that I have lost;
To abstain from vain conversations;
To eschew light foolish mirth and gladness;
Recreations not necessary to cut off;
To set the loss of wordly substance, friends, liberty,
life and all at right nought for the winning of Christ;
To think my worst enemies my best friends,
For the brethren of Joseph could never have done him
so much good with their love and favor as they did
him with their malica and hatred.
These wishes are more to be desired by every man than
all the treasure of all the princes and kings, Christian
and heathen, were ot gathered and laid together all
upon one heap.
