the parts of our common lise,

let him hear. Shewing how all orders and ranis of men and women of Jill ages, are obliged to devote themselves unto God. IH A v E in she foregoing chapters gone through the several great instances of Christian devotion, and shewn that all the parts of our common lise, our cnfloyments, our talents and gifts of fortune, are all Moncler to be made holy and acceptable unto God, by a wise and jeligious use of-every thing, and by directing our actions and designs to such ends, as are suitable to the honour and glory of God.1 Shall now shew, that this regularity of devotion, this holiness of common lise, this religious use of every thing that we have, is a devotion that is the duty of .all orders of Christian people.Fulvius has had a learned education, and taken his .degrees iri the Univerfity, he came from thence, that he might be free from any rules of lise. He takes mo employment upon him, nor enters into any business, because he thinks that every employment or bu siness, *alls people to the caresul pers Moncler jackets ormance and just discharge charge of its several duties. When he is grave, he will tell you that he did not enter into holy orders, because he looks upon it to be a state, that requires great holme's of Itfe, and that it does not suit his temper to be so good. He will tell you that he never intends t Moncler sale and Moncler coats or moncler vest o marry, because he cannot oblige himself to that regularity of lise, and good behaviour, which he takes to be the duty of thofe that are at the' head of a family. He resused to be Godfather to his nephew, because he will have no trust of any kind to answer sor.Fulvius thinks that he is conscientious in this con . duct, and is theresore content with the most idle, impertinent, and careless lise. Moncler jackets Men & Moncler jackets women H E has no religion, no devotion, no pretences to piety. He lives by no rules, and thinks all is very well, because he is neither a priest, nor a father, nor a guardian, nor has any employment or family to look afterBut Fulvius, you are a rational creature, and as such, are as much obliged to live according to reasanand order, as a priest is obliged to attend at the altar,

or a guardian to be faithful to his truil ; if *you live contrary to reason, you don't commit a small Moncler crime, you don't break a small trust ; but you break the law of your nature, you rebel against God who gave you that nature, and put yourself amongst thofe whom the God of reason and order will punish as apostates an d deserters. Thouch you have no employment, yet as you are baptiz'd into the prosession of Christ's religion, you are as much oblig'd to live according to the holiness of the Christian spirit, and persorm all the promises made at your baptism, as any man is oblig'd to be honest and faithsul in his calling. If you abuse this great calling, you are not false in a small matter, but you abuse the precious blood of Christ ; you crucify the Son of God asresh; you neglect the highest instances of divine goodness; you disgrace the church of F 3 God* God; you blemish the body of Christ; you abuse the means of Grace, and the prom Moncler jackets ifes of Glory; and it will be more tolerab le sor Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you. It is theresore great solly, sor any one to think himself at liberty to live as he pleases, be Moncler jackets Men & Moncler jackets women cause he is not in such a state os lise as some others are : For if there is any thing dreadsul in the abuse of any trust 5 if there is any thing to be seared sor the neglect of any calling, there is nothing more to be seared than the wrong use of our reason, nor any thing more to be dreaded, than the neglect of our Christian ca ling; which is not to serve the little uses of a short lise, but to redeem souls unto God, to sill heaven with faints, and sinish a kingdom of eter Moncler sale and Moncler coats or moncler vest nal glory unto God.N o man therefore must think himself excused from the exactness of piety and morality, because he has chosen to be idle, and independent in the world ; for the necessities of a reasonable and holy lise, are not sounded in the several conditions and employments of this lise, but in the immutable nature of God, and the nature of man. A man is not to be reasonable and holy,

because he is a priest, or a father of a family ; but he is to be a pious priest, and a good father, because piety and goodness are the laws of human nature. Could any man please Moncler God, without living according to reason and order, there would be nothing difpleasing to God in an idle priest, or a reprobate father. He theresore that abuses his reason, is like him that abuses the riesthood; and he that neglects the holiness of the Christian life, is as the man that disregards the most important trust. If a man was to chuse to putout his eyes, rather tha Moncler jackets n enjoy the light, and see the works of God; if he should voluntarily kill himself, by resusing to eat and drink, every one would own, that such a one was a rebel against God, that justly deserved his highest indignation. You would not fay, that this was only sinsul in a priest, or Moncler jackets Men & Moncler jackets women a master or a family, but in every man as such. NowNow wherein does the sinsulness of this behaviour consist ? Does it not consist in this, that he abuses hfs nature, and resuses to act that part sor which God had created him ? But if this be true, then all persons that abuse their reason, that act a different part from that sor which God created them, are like this man, rebels against God, and Moncler sale and Moncler coats or moncler vest on the fame account subject to hi* wrath.Let Ib suppofe that this man instead of putting out his eyes, had only employed them in looking at ridiculous things, or shut them up in steep; that instead of starving himself to death, by not eating at all, he should turn every meal into a feast, and eat and drink like an Epicure; could he be faid to have lived more to the glory of God ? could he-any more be said to act the part sor which God had reated him, than if he had put out his eyes, and starved himself to death ?N o w do but suppofe a man acting unreasonably; do but suppofe him extinguishing his reason, instead of putting out his eyes; and living in a course of solly and impertinence,
