About the Book

Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: THE PART I. PIECES IJV PKOS. CHAPTER I. SELECT SENTENCES AND PARAGRAPHS. SECTION I. 1. IDLENESS is the mother of many wanton children. They that do nothing are in the ready way to do that vhich is worse than nothing. If we hide our talent in the earth, we shall lose our treasure in heaven. 2. It matters not what a man loses, if he save his soul; but, if he lose his soul, it matters not what he saves. It is better to have a good conscience, and be censured, than to have a bad one, and be flattered. We must hear the warnings of conscience, or we shall feel the luoundings of conscience. 3. Repentance begins in the humiliation of the heart, and ends in the reformation of the life. You cannot repent too soon. There is no day like to-day. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is God's, not your own. If we put off our repentance to another day, we have a day more to repent of, and a day less to repent in. 4. To be low is the safest and comeliset posture for sinful creatures. If men did butknow themselves more, -they would be more humble. They that are humble are content and thankful. A humble spirit is a charitable and quiet spirit. 5. Humility is the mother of contentment. If we cannot bring our condition to our mind, we must labor to bring our mind to our condition. Neither contentment nor discontentment arises from the outward condition, 'but from the inward disposition. Jf a man is not content in that state he is z', he would not be content in any state he 'would be in. 6. That .which a man envies in another, he would be proud of if he had it himself. Some are proud of what they are, others of what they are net. 7. Thou that canst call nothing thine own but sin and sjiame, art thou proud ? Dust and ashes proud ? A worm, and proud? Emptiness, and proud? Perishin.
