The Third Direction
Thirdly, Be sure of thy call to every business thou goest about though it be in the least business be sure of thy call to it then whatever thou meettest withall thou mayest quiet thy heart with this I know I am where God would have me ; there is nothing in the World will quiet the heart so much as this when I meet with any cross I know I am where God would have me in my place and calling I am about the work that God hath set me: Oh this will quiet and content thee when thou meetest with trouble: that that God calls a man to with that, he may have comfort whatever befalls him God is to look to thee, and to see thee blest if thoubeest in the work God calls thee to.
