S

Stick to God, as well in adversity as prosperity; the one being as necessary as the other. If you want necessaries, humble yourself for them: if you have them, be humble with them; and use them well, lest you forfeit them.
Seek reconciliation with your neighbour, freely forgiving those that have offended you, and earnestly desiring to be forgiven of all that have been offended by you.
Study to approve both your heart to God, and you life to God’s children in your particular calling, and especially as such, as to whom God has joined you: if a servant in obeying, if a master, in ruling, if a husband, in loving, if a wife, in reverence; for a good conscience, a good name, and good manners must go together.
