FIrst, Fast and Pray, and then take a Quart of Repentance of Nineve, and put in two Handfuls of Faith in the Blood of Christ, with as much Hope and Charity as you can get, and put it into a Vessel of a clean Conscience, then boil it in the Fire of Love so long till you see by the Eyes of Faith, the black Foam of the Love of this World to stick in your Stomach, then scum it of clean with the Spoon of faithful Prayer; when this is done, put in the Powder of Pa- tience, and take the Cloak of Christs Innocence, strain all together in this Cup, then drink it burning hot next to thy Heart, and cover thee warm with as many Cloaths of Amendment of Life as God shall strengthen thee and enable thee to hear, that thou mayest sweat out all the Poyson of Covetousness, Pride, Whore- dom, Idolatry, Usury, Swearing, Lying, with such-like; and when thou seest thy- self altered from the afore-named Vices, take the Powder of Say-well, and put upon thy Tongue, but drink thrice as much Do-well daily, then take the Oil of Good Works, and anoint therewith the Eyes, Ears, Heart and Hands, that they may be ready and nimble to administer to the poor Members of Christ; when this is done, then in Gods Name arise from Sin willingly, read the Bible daily, take up the Cross boldly, and stand to it manfully, bear all Visitations patiently, Pray continually, Rest thankfully, and thou shalt live everlastinly, and come to the hill of Joy quick- ly; to which Place hasten us good Lord speedily.
