WEDNESDAY. The fourth Decad.
•…•…. BEgin every day to repent, not that thou shouldst at all defer it, or stand the door, but because all that is past •…•…aght to seem little to thee; because it is 〈◊〉〈◊〉 in it self: begin the next day with the •…•…me zeal and the same fear, and the same •…•…umility, as if thou hadst never begun •…•…efore.
32. A little omission of any usual ex∣•…•…cise of piety, cannot happen to thee •…•…ithout some loss and considerable detri∣•…•…ent, even though it be upon a •…•…erable cause.
33. Be not slow in common and usual •…•…cts of Piety and Devotion, and quick •…•…nd prompt at singularities: but having •…•…rst done what thou art bound to, pro∣•…•…eed to counsels and perfections, and the •…•…xtraordinaries of Religion, as you see •…•…ause.
34. He that desires much to hear news, •…•…s never void of passions, and secular de∣ires, and adherencies to the world.
