XLIV. The Things which the Holy Ghost teacheth.
The Holy Spirit teacheth eve∣ry gracious Soul to regard the Im∣mortal Spirit above the Body, to ob∣serve God rather than Man, and to provide for Eternity rather than Time. And all their circumspect walking, their redeeming their Time, their daily Devotion, their Self-denial, Consciencious Carri∣age, and what-ever provokes pro∣phane Mouths to reproach them, are but the necessary Effects of these three Principles of Wisdome. And all the Wickedness of Un∣godly Men proceeds from the want of this Wisdom.
