Those Who Give Not Till They Die

Perfection Is The Child Of Time.

Neutrality In Things Good Or Evil Is Both Odious And Prejudicial; But In Matters Of An Indifferent Nature Is Safe And Commendable. Herein Taking Of Parts Maketh Sides, And Breaketh Unity. In An Unjust Cause Of Separation, He That Favoreth Both Parts May Perhaps Have Least Love Of Either Side, But Hath Most Charity In Himself.

Satan Would Seem To Be Mannerly And Reasonable; Making As If He Would Be Content With One-half Of The Heart, Whereas God Challengeth All Or None: As, Indeed, He Hath Most Reason To Claim All That Made All. But This Is Nothing But A Crafty Fetch Of Satan; For He Knows That If He Have Any Part, God Will Have None: So The Whole Falleth To His Share Alone.

Recreation Is Intended To The Mind As Whetting Is To The Scythe, To Sharpen The Edge Of It, Which Otherwise Would Grow Dull And Blunt,--as Good No Scythe As No Edge.

Surely The Mischief Of Hypocrisy Can Never Be Enough Inveighed Against. When Religion Is In Request, It Is The Chief Malady Of The Church, And Numbers Die Of It; Though Because It Is A Subtle And Inward Evil, It Be Little Perceived. It Is To Be Feared There Are Many Sick Of It, That Look Well And Comely In God's Outward Worship, And They May Pass Well In Good Weather, In Times Of Peace; But Days Of Adversity Are Days Of Trial.
