Duties.
A dead man lives upon duties.
It's no wonder the Papists doe as they doe,
because they expect heaven for it.
The more a Saint doth for God, the more
he enjoyes God.
A Saints desire is to doe all for God.
A meanes not to sin, is not to omit duties
A man may do duties from convincement
of understanding, and not from a principle
of life and love.
Such duties as flow not from faith and
love, are slavish.
Many will own and confesse their dutie in
generall, and wholy deny it in particular, e∣specially
when it concernes them.
When a childe of God hath performed du∣ties
best, immediately he is tempted by the
Devill and his own heart.
To be streightned in a duty may doe us
more good, then if we had been much en∣larged
in it.
