The benefit of keeping close to good Principles. [ 806]
HE that intends to meet with one in a great Fair,* 1.1 and knowes not where he is, may sooner find him by standing still in some eminent place there, than by tr••versing it up and down. Thus, having taken thy stand upon some ground in Religion, and keeping thy station in a fixed posture, never hunting after the times, to follow them; 'tis a hundred to one but they will come to thee once in thy life∣time. Do but fear God, and reverence thy Superiours; stick close to the principles of obedience to the one, and ••••••pect to the other, and it is more then an ••even lay, that such as are given ••a••rd•• ch••nge, such as have betaken themselves to new lights, in the waies of God, 〈…〉〈…〉 dispence with their engagement to him, that is set over them, will come abou••, and begin to see at the last, how they have been deluded.
