[ 818] How to walk circumspectly.

WHen children meet with primroses,* 1.1 nuts, or apples in the way, then they loyter on their errands, bring night home, and so get the displeasure of their parents; whereas those that meet with dangers, or some affrights by the way, make haste in their journey, and their speed makes them welcome with commen∣dations. Thus, God hath sent all of us abroad into the world, and we are every day travailing homeward;* 1.2 if we meet with miseries and vexations in the way, dis∣cretion should teach us a religious haste in our journey; and if we meet with plea∣sures, they should onely pleasure us, by putting us in mind of those pleasures, which are at Gods right hand for evermore; or else to scorn them, as worse than trifles, and to look upon them as pull-backs, in the waies of God and goodnesse.
