Life Is Short, And We Are Dull,

Keep Up Your Conjugal Love In A Constant Heat And Vigor. Love Will Suppress Wrath: You Cannot Have A Bitter Mind Upon Small Provocations, Against Those That You Dearly Love.

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.

Christ Leads Me Through No Darker Rooms Than He Went Through Before.

Spend Your Time In Nothing Which You Know Must Be Repented Of; In Nothing On Which You Might Not Pray For The Blessing Of God; In Nothing Which You Could Not Review With A Quiet Conscience On Your Dying Bed; In Nothing Which You Might Not Safely And Properly Be Found Doing If Death Should Surprise You In The Act.

Unity In Things Necessary, Liberty In Things Unnecessary, And Charity In All.
