Above All Be Much In Secret Prayer And Meditation. By This You Will Fetch The Heavenly Fire That Must Kindle Your Sacrifice: Remember You Cannot Decline And Neglect Your Duty To Your Own Hurt Alone, Many Will Be Losers By It As Well As You.

Make Careful Choice Of The Books Which You Read: Let The Holy Scriptures Ever Have The Pre-eminence, And, Next To Them, Those Solid, Lively, Heavenly Treatises Which Best Expound And Apply The Scriptures, And Next, Credible Histories, Especially Of The Church...

Get Masters Of Families To Do Their Duty, And They Will Not Only Spare You A Great Deal Of Labor, But Will Much Further The Success Of Your Labors.
