she was al the same lime weeping, and
altogether the appeal was irresistible to
the kind hearted lady of the house, who
gave her good supply Of food. As she
handed it 10 her, the woman, in moving
her arms TO receive u, lei fall--a stick Of

True Life.

If shall describe living man,
man that hath that life that distinguishes
him from fowl, bird. that which gives
him capacity next to angels; We shall
find that even good man lives not long.
because it is long before he is born to this
life, and longer yet before he has a mans
growth. "He that can look upon death,
and see its face with the same counte-
nance with which he hears its story that
can endure allthe labors of his with his
soul supporting his body that can equal
ly despise riches when he hath them no.
that is not sadder if they lie in his neigh
bor's trunk nor more gay if they shine
round abou. his own walls; he that is new
er moved with good fortune coming to
him, nor going from him; that can look
upon another mans lands evenly and
pieasedly as if they were his own, and
yet look upon his own and use them too,
just as if they were another mans; that
neither spends his goods prodigally, and
like a fool, nor yet keeps them avarieious-
", and like wretch; that weighs not
benefits by weight and number, but by
mind and circumstances of him that
gives them: that never thinks his chari-
ty expensive if worthy person be the
receiver; he that does nothing for opin-
ions sake, but everything for conscience,
being as curious of his thoughts as OF his
ac.ings in markets and theaters, and is as
much in awe of himself as of a whole
assembly; he kaows that God looks on.
and eontriyes his secret affairs as in the
presence of God and his holy angels that
eats and drinks because he needs 1t, not
that he may serve lust or load his stom-
ach;s he that is bouHtiful and cheerful to
his friends, and charitable aad apt 30 for
give his enemies; that loyes hiseountry,
obeys his prince, and desires and endeay-
ors nothing more than that they may do
honor to God :" this person may seckea
bis life to be the life OF a man, and com,
pute his months, not by the course oftht
sun, but the zodiac and circle of his vir
tues; because these are such things which
fools and children, and birds and beasts
cannot have. These are; therefore the
actions of life, because they are the seed.
Of immortality. That day in which wt
have done some excellent thing, We may
a. truly reckon to be added 70 oar Life
