Christian, Let God's Distinguishing Love To You Be A Motive To You To Fear Him Greatly. He Has Put His Fear In Your Heart, And May Not Have Given That Blessing To Your Neighbor, Perhaps Not To Your Husband, Your Wife, Your Child, Or Your Parent. Oh, What An Obligation Should This Thought Lay Upon Your Heart To Greatly Fear The Lord!

Talkative Represents The Man Or Woman Who Delights In Talking About Divine Things But Has Only Theoretical Knowledge Of Such Things.

I Looked, And Saw Him Open The Book, And Read Therein; And As He Read, He Wept And Trembled: And Not Being Able Longer To Contain, He Brake Out With A Lamentable Cry; Saying, 'what Shall I Do?'

Take Heed Of Driving So Hard After This World, As To Hinder Thyself And Family From Those Duties Towards God, Which Thou Art By Grace Obliged To; As Private Prayer, Reading The Scriptures, And Christian Conference.

I Come From The Town Of Stupidity; It Lieth About Four Degrees Beyond The City Of Destruction.
