The diamond of deuotion cut and squared into sixe seuerall points: namelie, 1 The footpath to felicitie. 1 2 A guide to godlines. 81 3 The schoole of skill. 181 4 A swarme of bees. 209 5 A plant of pleasure. 245 6 A groue of graces. 283 Full of manie fruitfull lessons, auaileable to the leading of a godlie and reformed life: by Abraham Fleming.

A looking glasse for the Christian Reader, conteining summarilie the substance of all the do∣ctrines deliuered before at large.

A Listning eare that loues to learne how to amend that is amisse, By grace diuine shall haue the choice of that which good & healthfull is. Resist the force and strength of sinne with spirituall artillerie, Absteine frō noisome lusts: This is the footepath to felicitie. Haue alwaies in rememberance Christ Iesus crucifide to death, And let the same thy comfort be, till vtter gaspe of life and breath. Meeke minded be, all pride detest, and learne of Christ humilitie,

Forbeare thy furious foe: This is the footepath to felicitie.

Lament the lacke of faith and truth, which lies forsaken and forlorne, Exhort to peace where it doth want, and of the needie thinke no scorne. Make much of such as pleasure take in fostring loue and charitie, In such is hope of grace: This is the footepath to felicitie. Nothing so much doth like the Lord, as louing of his heauenlie lawe, Giue eare therto, and from the same, let no alurement thee withdrawe.

An vpright life delight to leade, thy lust keepe in captiuitie, By vertue honour seeke: This is the footepath to felicitie. Reuolt not from the word of truth, but euen to death the same professe, And make account that thy reward will be eternall happinesse. Hell is the hire of euerie one, that is to truth an enimie, A true beleeuer die: This is the footepath to felicitie. Marke what reposed is in heauen, for such as do their maisters will,

Free libertie from thraldoms yoke, and blessed Angels food their fill. Lord lighten thou our mistie e••••s, that we may loue the veritie,

Extend to vs thy spirit: This is the footepath to felicitie. Make vs to ioie in nothing more, than in thy word procuring peace, I meane thy Gospell full of grace, the loue whereof O Lord increase. New harts, new minds create in vs and make vs like thy maiestie, Good, like thy selfe, so shall we finde the footepath to felicitie.

Amen.
