fear and danger, and order thy life accordingly: What sin was it that thy Conscience did reproach thee for, in a time of danger, and in feares of death? whether of omission or commission; pub∣lick or secret; of what nature soever it was: and let it be the design of thy heart, in the course of thy life, to mortifie that sin, and keep it under; that thou carefully avoid the occasions thereof: that, when death shall certainly come, and con∣science shall have no more occasion, or just ground to reproach thee, thou mayest see, that God in mercy did prolong thy dayes, till thou hadst got the victory over, and the pardon, and the evidence of the pardon of that sin. What was it in thy feares, and when thou wast in expectation of death, that Conscience did approve in thee? it did then approve thy diligence in thy Family, go on in this still; it did approve of thy strickt and holy walking with God, go on in that which was good, and thy rightly inlightned Conscience did commend in thee; and, this will be to live in some measure answerably to so great a mercy, as is Gods preserving of you in a time of such a wa∣sting Plague.
