SECT. IV.
* 1.1BUt because in all works the manner of doing them is of great∣est moment, and the right performance doth much further the success; I will here adjoyn a few Directions, which you must be sure to observe in this work of Exhortation: for it is not every advice that useth to succeed, nor any manner of doing it, that will serve the turn. Observe therefore these Rules.
1. Set upon the work sincerely, and with right intentions. Let thy Ends be the Glory of God in the parties Salvation. Do it not to get a name or esteem to thy self; or to bring men to depend upon thee; or to get thee followers: Do not as many carnal Pa∣rents and Masters will do, viz. rebuke their Children and Servants for those sins that displease them, and are against their profit or their humors, as disobedience, unthriftiness, unmannerliness, &c. and labour much to reform them in these, but never seek in the right way that God hath appointed, to save their Souls. But be sure thy main end be to recover them from misery, and bring them into the way of eternal Rest.
