A little cabinet richly stored with all sorts of heavenly varieties, and soul-reviving influences.: Wherein there is a remedy for every malady, viz. milk for babes, and meat for strong men, and the ready way for both to obtain and retain assurance of salvation: being an abridgement of the sum and substance of the true Christian religion; wherein the cause of our salvation, the way, the guide, the rule, the evidence, the seals, &c. and the connection of these points together, and dependancy of them one upon another: this I have endeavoured to do orderly, exactly, methodically, with much plainness and clearness. / By Robert Purnell.

Of the state of manhood.

THE maturiry of mans age begins at thirty, and continues till forty five; in this state the flesh provokes thee to lust, the world allures thee to plea∣sure, and the Devil tempts thee to all kind of sins, fears of enemies affright thee, suits in Law do vex thee, wrongs of ill neighbours do oppress thee, cares for wife and children do consume thee, sin stings thee within, Satan layes snares before thee, sins past, dogs behind thee; in this miserable estate, whither wilt thou go for rest and comfort? the house is full of cares, the Field of toyl, the Sea of Pirats, the Land of

Robbers, who can reckon up besides all this, the losses, crosses, griefs, disgraces, sicknesses, and calami∣ties that do attend us, the death of near and dear friends and relations; one while adversity on the left∣hand frets thee, another while prosperity on the right-hand flatters thee, over thy head Gods judge∣ments due to thy sins are ready to fall upon thee, and under thy feet, hels mouth is ready to swallow thee up, therefore take heed Oh man what thou dost, &c.
