Did  God  make  tlve  world  all  at  once!^  No.  He 
^niade  it  in  the  space  of  six  days.  Could  he  not  hava 
,made  it  at  once?    Yes,  if  such  had  been  his  ^ill. 

\Vhat  ought  you  to  do  at  the  sight,  and  use  of  tbp 
tbhigs  lihich  God  hath  niade^  I  ought  to  raise  up 
my  mind  and  heart  to  Him,  and  to  praise  Him. 

Why  do  we  name  Him  by  that  word  or  name  of 
God?  What  doth  that  name  mean?  This  is  He, 
my  child,  the  Great  One,  the  Good  One,  and  the 
Wise  one — God,  of  whom  all  things,  as  it  were,  call 
,out  with  one  voice  to  us  ;  know  ye  Men,  that  the 
Lord,  He  is  God,  it  is  He^that  hath  made  us. 

Raise  up  then  your  mind,  your  heart,  and  your 
Toice  to  him,  and  say— O  God, "'tis  Thou  art  great» 
arid  ^^oi,  and  wise  ;  Thou  ait  the  jono  G'^j^  4^

xiot  made. 

For  there  was  a  time  when  there  '^as  no  man,  nor 
beasts  nor  bird,  nor  fish  ;  but  there  was  not  a  time 
tihen  there  was  not  a  God,  or  when  God  was  not. 
-^  He  is  the  Lord  and  God  of  all  men  and  thingsr 
that  have  been,  and  that  are,  and  that  >Yill  be«  Ail 
are  made  by  him,  and  ull  live  and  move  by  bim, 
God  is^  was,  and  will  be  forever.

HkaIi  how,  my  child,  what  graat  works  Cfbd  did 
when  he  m%ie  the  world.  'I'hough  He  cbultl  have 
'made  the  *world  all  at  once  if  such  had  been  his 
will,  3'et  He  did  not  make  it  all  at  once.  He  made 
all  things  and  man  in  the  space  of  six  days.  Thus 
he  shewed  that  He  made  it  not  by  force,  but  by  1^ 
own  free  will  and  choice.    v^^^">^^^* 

On  the  first  day  God  made  the  h^a-ven  and^  the 
earth,  cfr  that  which  was  to  he  the  wotld.  The 
earth  had  not  then  the  form  it  no^  hath.  There 
was  not  the  sun,  nor  the  moon,  uor  the  stars.  It 
was  a  mass  or  heap,  with  no  form  or  shape.  And 
H'i^asvfii|4,: for  there  was  no  beasts,  nor  trees,  lior 
^rdf,  lili^ ji;ffy.thing  in  it.

^^0i  World.    And,  He  is  of  such  might.  I|e  ia  |o 

;||'#at  and  wise/ that  tie  did    not  need  a-ny  helfe. 

i7^     ^as  no  iight,  it  was  quite  dark.  God  then  sai4 

S^  Hght  made y  and  light  was  made,  , 

'  %  JJot,  my  child:^that  God  ^poke  such  wortfa,  as  we 

vn^y,  speak  them,  for  (^od  is  not  as  we  are.     He  iiatji 

not  a  bo-dy,  as  we  have,  so  as  he  can  be^seen  by  us, 

jVoman  hath  seen  God  at  a-ny  time,  nor  can  see  Him^ 

He.  is  a.  pure  spi-rit,  the  same  j|s  your  own  soul,  a 

spi-rit  w!iich  can-not  be  seen. 

.Yet  God  knows  and  sees  all  things,  and  can  4p 

'  alltbin<rs.     And  He  doth  .what  he  pl^a-ses  by  Hi.s 

■  i»iji  :  His  will  was,  an<l  is  as  His  word  :  hence  as 

-*  soon  as  He  would  have  ^^thing  be  made,  or  done, 

•0  soon  was  it  made,  or  done.     ,,     -. 
%^      Tlius  it  was  His  will  there  should  be  light  and 
there  was  light  ;  and  a-likeof  all  o-ther  things  that 
W.ere  made.  And  God  saw  the  light  that  it  was  good, 
and  he  called  the  light  Day^  and  the  dark-ness 

^  Now  then,  my  child,  and  at  all  times  when  you 
^look  at,  or  think  on  the  works  ofGod,  raise  up  yoiir 
^lind  and  heart  to  the  great  and  good  God  :  pray 
Ao  Him,  and, say,  O  God  !  Thou  art  great  and  good, 
and  wise  in  all  thy  works.  Bless  the  Lord  all  tlm 
iiworks  of  the  Lord .  Thou  art  my  God,  by  Thee  I 
^lave  been  made,  and  by  Thee  I  now  live.

the  best  h&  had  of  his  Hock  to  God,  and  God  was 
well  pleased  with  him.  Cain  was  had,  and  he  did 
not  of-fer  the  best  of  what  he  hail  to  God,  and  God 
was  not  plea-sed  with  him.         ^    -5    '*9-     i^^^    ' 

Cain  ha-ted  A-hel  because  God  .Ipokrcd  down

day,  when  they  were  both  in  the  fields,  Cain  ross

They  who  were  born  of  Cain  were  had  like  him-;seif.

third  son,  his  name  was  ^eth.  He  waa  good,  likft

lie  saw  the  off-spring  of  his  three  sons  that  were 
nith  hioi  m  the  ark  grow  to  a  great  num-ber.  The 
earth  was  then  of  one  tongue,  that  is,  they  all  spoke 
one  and  the  same  language.  These,  when  they 
went  from  the  east  found  a  plain,  and  dwelt  in  it.- 

They  then  said  each  to  liis  neigh-bonr,  Come  lot^ 
us  make  brick,  and  bake  them  with  fire  ;  and  It^ 
us  build  a  town,  and  a  tow-er>  the  top  of  which  mav 
reach  as  hiu^h  as  he^^ven;  ana   let  us  make   our 
name  great  be-fore  we  dis-perse  in-to  all  lands. 

But  God,  who  laughs  at  the  at -tempts  of  men> 
when  they  think  to  op.pose  his  will,  soon  shelved 
them  bow  vain,  and  void  of  force  they  were  in. thtir 
scheme.  He  knew  they  would  not  cease  to  work, 
while  they  all  spoke  one  and  the  same  tongue.  He 
then  so  con-fu.sed  theii  speech,  that  they  no  long- 
er knew  the  one  what  an-o-ther  said  or  call-ed  for. 

They  were  then  fore  ed  tode-sistfrom  their  wiork. 
And  that  to we-r  was  call-ed,  and  is  known  b]  the

By  this  act  and  deed  you  may  8e<*,  my  ehildy 
how  vain  it  is  for  liian  to  stI'iVe  a- gainst  God  :  He 
it  great,  and  of  such  might,  that  no  ntan  can  op*pole 
what  he  will,  or  Hill  not  have  done. 

By  the  6ood,  and  the  change  of  speefeh,  and  by 
dis-pei's-ing  man-kind'through-out  the  whole  earth, 
he  showed  (hat  he  is  Lord  of  all,  and  thut  he  can  do 
what  he  pleas-eth,  al-s6  that  he  is  wise  and  good, 
and  does  all  for  the  good  of  man. 

What  love  and  praise  then  do  we  not  owe  him! 
Be- ware  not  to  op-pose  his  will,  but  seek  and  pray 
to  know  it  :  and  when  you  know  it,  beg  him  tu 
grant  you  his  grace  to  com-ply  with  it. 

And  in  all  things  that  be-iall  you,  say,  fiom  j^our 
heart,  O  Lord,  great  and  good,  and  wise  and  just! 
thy  will  be  done     This  is  done  by  the  will  and  the' 
hand  ol*'  God,  so  be  it,  and  may  he  be  praised.

These  ar#  ^he  three  chief  virtues.  Jesus  teach- 
eth  that life  e-ver-last-ing,  or  the  way  to  gain  it,  is 
to  kiiewGody  the  one  only  true  God,  and  himself; 
Jesus  Chriit,  whom  God  hath  sent  to  redeem  ns  ani^ 
to  teach  us.  ,  > 

He  teacheth,  that  He  and  the  Father  are  but  one; 
Iionce,  that  He  is,God»  as  his  Father  is  Ood  :  and  he 
Mhi  his  A-po8-tles  that  JbeiKili  send  them  the  Spi-rit 
ivho  proceeds  from  the  ¥*ather  ;  and  he  adds,  he' 
«hall  receive  of  mine^  to.  teach  it  jou ;  because  all 
that  is  the  Father's  is  mine  :  this  shenti,  that  the 
Holy  Ghost,  or  Spirit,  proceb'ls  from  the  Father, 
and  from  the  Son.  and  yr;t'  that  all  three,  the  Father, 
the  Son  and  (Jie  tioly  Ghost>  are  bu|  one  and  the 
'^ame  God.'  .';,'  ^ 

And,  as  l^iw^  Gpd^  it  follows,  that  He  is  bpt1i 

$red  and  inan,^  since  Hq  look  to  himself  the.  nature 

tOf  man.    ^ni  lie  shows  it  elearly ,  when  lie  saith,

Lesson  XXI. 

The  Maxims  of  J^esus  Christ, 

.Tbsus  Christ  teacheth  us,  that  of  5>ur-selves,  and 
vK^bout  him,  we  caln  do  nothing.;  As  it  is  in  God, 
da£1)y  God,  that  we  Jive,  rtiove,  and  are,  so  it  is 
only  by  his  grace  and  help  that  we  c^n  do  good  un- 
to oar  e-ter-na)  sal-va^tiou.  4s  ^^  brau6h  cannot 
bear  fruit  if  it  do  not  abide  oa  the  tree,  'S0  neithe:r 
■<:an  we  bring  forth  the  frmt  of  good  works  if  we  do 
not  abide  in  God  by  faiths  ho|)e,  and  love,  and  he 
give  us  not  his  grace. 

Christ  saith,  speaaking  of  himself,  I  am  the  way, 
ihe  truth,  and  the  Hfe.  He  is  the  way,  in  what  he 
teaches  by  hi^wor»d,  and  by  his  life,  which  we  must 
copy.  He  is  the  truth,  by  what  he  pro-mis-cs; 
and  he  is  the  life,  by  the  grace  ^vhich  we  receive 
through  biro  t  and  v^e  have  need  of  this  grace  :  for 
he  $aith.  No  man  can  come  to  me  unless  the  Father

Of  the  End  Jiiir  which  man  was  created,  ' 

Of  all  thinj^  "necessary  for  man  to  know,  th^  - 
end,  for  which  he  '  can^e  into  the  world,  deserves 
his  ^rst  attention.  Because,  being  a  rational  crea-  - 
ture,  he  ought  to  act  for  a  final  end,  iu  the  enjoy- 
roeiiC  whereof  he  ma^  find  his  eternal  happiness. 
Now^  he  cannot  act  for  this  end  without  ai  know- 
ledge of  it^  which  exciting  a  desire,  makes  him 
search  for,  and  employ  the  means  of  obtaining  it^ 
A  man  who  knows  not  his  last  end  is  Jike  a  beast 
because  he  regards  only  things  present,  things  ma. 
terial  and  sensible,  after  the  manher  of  brutes,  and 
in  this  he  is  much  more  miserable  than  they,  since 
they  find  in  these  exterior  objects  thie  felicity  th6y 
are  capable  of  ^  but  he,  instead 'df  finding  repose, 
meets  with  nothing  but  disgust,  and  the  source  of 
endless  misery. 

From  a  want  of  considering  their  last  end  ori- 
ginate all  the  disorders  discernible  in  the  liyesF  of 
men,  because,  forgetting  that  noble  and  divine  ^nd 
for  which'  their  Creator  designed  ihiein,  they  are 
wholly  taken  up  with  the  pleasures^  of  Ithis  mortal 
life,  living  upon  earth  as  if  made  for  the  earth. 
It  would  move  one  to  compassion  to  see  a  child

the  scanty  limits  of  earning  a  miserable  livelihood 
with  the  sweat  of  his  brow,  without  having  the  least 
thought  of  the  high  rank  to  which  he  was  born  ;  but 
]t  is  much  n^ore  to  be  deplored,  to  see  men  who  are 
the  children  of  heaven,  designed  by  the  Almighty 
to  reign  tiiere  eternally,  live  in  an  entire  forgetful-i

God  hath  not  made  you  for  any  of  these  things. 
For  what  then  ?  For  nothing  less  than  the  posses- 
sion and  enjoyment  of  himself  in  heaven.  -He  has 
not  judged  the  fairest  of  his  creatures  worthy  of  you: 
he  has  given  himself  to  be  the  object  of  your  hap-

God  was  noways  bound  to  do  thus  much  for  you. 
Without  this  favour  which  God  has  shown  you^you 
could  never  have  been  saved  ;  for  there  is  no  sal- 
vation without  faith.  Where  then  would  you  have 
been,  if  God  had  not  shewn  you  this  mercy  P  Ue 
has  not  done  this  favour  to  thousands  of  men  who 
live  in  other  countries,  in  the  darkness  of  ignorance 
and  sin  ;  nor  to  so  many  other  persons,  who,  al- 
though they  be  baptized  as  you,  yet  Hve  in  error, 
separated  from  the  true  faith  of/the  Catholic  Church 
which  is  the  pillar  and  ground  of  truth. 

Why  were  you  not  of  that  unhappy  number'^ 
Why  has  God  made  you  to  be  born  in  a  Christian 
country  rather  than  others,  and  in  the  bosom  of 
the  Catholic  Church,  where  you  are  instructed  iq 
the  divine  mysteries,  and  things  necessary  for  salva- 
tion P  How  have  you  merited  this  favour?  ^hat

fortunate  are  we  by  the  ^race  of  God,  which  has 
called  us  to  the  knowlede  of  his  divine  mysteries 
and  adorable  will  !  He  has  not  shewn  this  good-

That  God  requires  and  particularly  accepts  the 
Services  of  Young  People^ 

The  time  of  Youth  being  the  beginning  of  life, 
I'  you  must  know,  dear  Theotime,  the  strict  obliga- 
tions you  areuudcr  of  consecrating  yourself  to  God 
when  Young.  The  first  is,  that  God  earnestly  de- 
sires to  be  served  by  you  in  that  age,  since  it  is  cer- 
tain that  in  all  things  God  claims  particularly,  the 
first,  and  the  beginnings.  For  this  reason,  in  the 
old  law,  he  commanded  the  first  fruits  of  all  things 
to  be  offered  to  Lim.  Of  fruits,  he  required  the 
first  gathered  to  be  presented  ;  of  beasts,  the  first 
brought  forth  to  be  sacrificed^    and  of  men«  th#

eldett  sons  to  be  dedicated  to  his  semcein  the  tem- 
ple, though  he  permitted  them  afterwands  to  be  re- 
deemed ;  shewing  by  this  iR8titutJon>  that  notwith- 
standing all  things  being  his,  yet  he  had  a  s|H^c>al 
esteem  for  the  first,  as  those  which  above  all  others 
wel'edue  to  him,  and  which  he  required  as  an  ac- 
knowledgettenti  Hence  the  time  of  youth  being 
the  beginning  and  first  part  of  our  life,  God  de- 
mands it  particularly^  atui  will  have  it  offered  to 
him,  in  order  to  be  faithfuUf  employed  in  bis  ser- 
irice. 

Secondly,  the  time  of  youth  is  most  pleasing  to 
God  ;  because,  generally  speaking,  according  to  the 
natural  order  of  things^  it  is  the  most  innocent  part 
of  life,  and  least  corrupted  by  sin ;  for  them  the 
knowledge  of  eyil  is  not  so  extensive,neither  is  there 
so  much  ability  or  opportunity  to  commit  it  :  the 
judgement  is  not  perTerted  by  the  false  maxims  of 
the  world,  nor  the  incl>viations  corrupted  by  the  in- 
fection of  the  wicked,  as  in  a  more  advanced  age. 
— Moreover,  our  baptismal  grace  which  we  have 
then  only  received,  renders  that  age  agreeable  to 
God,  at  least  in  those  who  do  not  forfeit  it  by  a 

sinful  lifV.'''    'm'-t  •^e':'^^iT'^:^^^t^^:::^^ i^h ^ ^^     ^%>-  ;^si;:^^t^tiyA(^ 

But  take  notice,  Theotime,  I  said,  that  age  is 
less  corrupted,  generally  speaking,  a^' '  according

Thirdly,  because  youiu  is  the  time  of  affording 
the  most  opportunities  of  shewir^g  that  you  lovOod 
sincerely  ;  for  it  is  the  time  of  the  first  temptations, 
wherein  you  begin  to  be  solicited  to  renounce  his  love 
and  t^iT^.c.^, 

V.iiii.  aio  hurried  on  by  your  own  passions,/ which 
}f'e  then  the  strongest ;  invited  by  those  of  your 
age,  who  often  solicit  you  to  wickedness,  either,  by 
their  example  or  by  their  discourse,  and  prompted 
by  tueenemy  of  your  salvation,  who  uses  all  his  en- 
deavours to  withdraw  you  from  the  service  of  God, 
and  make  sure  of  you  betimes.  So  that  this  age 
may  propeily  be  called  the  time  of  combat  and 
trial  ;  wherein  you  shew  your  love  to  God  with  a 
constant  and  real  affection^  if  jou  courageou&V  re* 
sist  thone  6rst  assaults. 

These  reasons,  Theotime,  convince  us,  that  God 
has  a  special  affection  for  the  homage  of  youth, 
which  being  employed  in  flying  from  sin,  and  serving 
God,  is  a  sacrifice  the  most  agreeable  that  can  be 
offered  to  him.  And,  as  a  learned  author  says  ex- 
cellently well:  those  who  in  the  time  of  youth  over- 
come themselves,  by  courageously  resisting  all 
temptations  to  sin,  and  who  consecrate  themselves 
entirely  to  the  service  of  God,  make  one  continued 
sacrifice  of  their  youth  to  God  :  which  offering  can- 
not but  be  most  agreeable  to  him,  as  long  as  it  re* 
mains  undetile«l  by  sin.  O  Theotime,  retain  well 
this  truth  in  your  mind,  and  never  forget  it  as  long 
as  you  live.

Remwrkoble  Instances' cf  the  aversion  God  beam  to 
WiekGi  Young  People.     ^    -     . 

God  has  an  aversion  to  all  sinners^  as  he  himself 
bas  said — '*  I  ahhof  the  wicked,"  especially  those 
who  ha?e  uiigratefully  abused  his  love  and  benevo- 
lekiee.  Not  only  reason  but  experience  evinces  it, 
by  the  effecig  which  Grod  frequently^  shews  of  that 
aversion  he  has  to  vicioos  young,  people.  I  shall 
produce  two  very  remarkable  instances  out  ef  the 
sacred  scnpiure,  that  no  one  may  doubt  of  them, 
and  that  from  these  one  may  judge  of  others. 

The  first  example  is  of  the  tw6  children  of  the 
Bigh  priest  Heli/  called  Ophni,  and  Phinees.  These 
two  young  men  were  employed  by  their  father  in 
tbO- miaistry  of  the  temple  and  sacrifioes,  wherein 
they  behaved  themselves  very  ill,  committing  great 
iirevarenees  in  the  temple  and  crying  injustice  to- 
wards the  faithful^  who;  came  to  ofier  their  sacra^ 
fices  to  God,  requiring  from  them,  by  an  insatia- 
ble avuxice^  more  than  was  their  just  due ;  inso^ 
much,  that  the  sacred  scripture  says,  they  were  the 
children  of  Belial,  (so  it  calls  those  whom  it  would 
tignify  to  be  wicked  and  abandoned  ;  for  Belial 
signifies  without  restraint  or  fear)  having  lost  the 
tear  of  God,  and  the  remembrance  of  their  duty  ; 
moreover  it  adds,  that  their  sin  was  very  enor- 
mous in  the  wghtof-God..j'>-vA)vv^  -^.^  ^::i;-'  .-^-^.v^iiT  rh^ 

Their  iniquity  provoked  God  so  much,  that  he 
sent  Samuel  to  tell  their  father,  who  bad  been  too 
negligent  in  correcting  Ids  children,  that  he  would

example  to  all  posteritj  ;  that  he  trould  exclufie 
his  family  from  the  high  prjesthood,  which  he 
would  ^ive  to  aoother ;  that  his  ofispriug  should  die 
in  the  lower  of  their  youth,  and  few  should  arrive 
at  perfect  age,;  a^d  that  his  two  sons,  Ophoi  and 
Phinees,  should  die  both  ii^  one  day,  and  all  l^eir 
race  should  bear  forever  the  mdrks  of  their  iniqui- 
ty,  which  should  never  be  expiated  hy  victims  and 
sacrifices.  .^v"'!-:*/'2-'P^.'^&?Hc  Ji^;^»)«tv'''i^^^  . 

All  this  happened  as  was  foretold.  A  little 
while  after  Ophni  and  Phtnees  were  killed,  being 
defeated  by  the  Philiatmes.  On  the  same  d^y^^the 
father,  hearing  the  news  of  their  death ,  ifeJl  down 
backward,  broke  his  $knll,  and  died  upon  t^e  spot. 
Many  other  misfortunes  happened  thai^a^^  a* 
moi^  the  rest  the  ark  of  God  was  taken  by  the  €ae- 
mies ;  and  the  rest  of  the  prophecy  was  iuliilled  to 
a  tittle.  How  many  misfortunes  in  one  family 
through  the  wickedness  of  two  sons ! 

The  second  is  of  Absalom,  ithe  third  son  of  Davjd. 
He  was  proud  >  dissembling,  revengeful,  and  highly 
ambitious,  conceited  of  himseif>  and  his  own  beauty, 
which,  according  to  the  scriptures,  was  extraordi- 
nary. The  first  wicked  action  which  the  sicriptUre 
relates  of  him,  but  which  must  needs  have  been 
preceded  by  many  others,  is  the  murder  of  his  bro- 
ther Amnpn.  By  this  action  he  lost  his  father's 
favour,  and  was  banished  from  him  for  the  space 
of  five  years,  after  which  he  was  recldled>  ana  ad* 
mittedto  his  favour  again. 

He, was  scarce  returned  to  his  father's  c^rt, 
Hhen  he  contrived  a  grand  rebellion  against  hJ^if

^  and  having  by  his  address  gained  the  affection  of 
the  people,  he  retired  to  a  small  town,  and  vras  pro- 
claimed King.  After  this  he  takes  up  arms  against 
his  father,  forces  him  to  tly  from  Jerusalem,  and 

,  pursues  him  with  a  strong  army,  which  he  had  rais-

Hear,  Theotimfe,  what  the  sacred  scripture  relates.  I 
David  Seeing  himself  brought  to  such  straits  by  his 
son,  was  obliged  to  make  head  and  oppose  him.  He 
sets  in  order  the  few  forces  he  had  with  him,  sends 
them  to  fight,  and  gives  him  battle.  Absalom'sl 
men,  though  far  more  numerous,  are  defeated.  In| 
this  discomfiture,  (O  the  ikvine  judgments  !)  it  hap- 
pened that  Absalom,  endeavouring  to  save  himself 
by  flight,  was  carried  under  a  great  oak,  and  as  hel 
wore  his  locks  very  long,  his  hair,  by  a  strange  acciJ 
dent^  and  particular  permission  of  God  was  so  strong-l 
ly  entangled  in  the  branches  of  the  tree,  that  the| 
mule  he  rode  on  could  not  carry  him  away,  but  con- 
tinuing its  course,  left  him  bringing  by  bis  hair,  withj 
out  being  aWe  to  disengage  himself.    ^ -&«•*« i^w 

David's  soldiers  see»ug  him  in  this  condition,  ran| 
hitn  through  with  a  lance,  and  killed  him  on  th(

Thdt  Salvation  g^eratlif  depends  on  the 
time  of  Yo^th,  ^ 

1  wUh,  Theoffme,  that  you,  and  all  those  of  yonr 
ag:e,  tbuld  thoroughly  understand  and  never  forget 
this  trii|hj  that  salvation  almost  entirely  depends  on 
the  liie  you  lead  during  jour  y<^utb.      This  is  un- 
knowiitb  the^r^atest  part  of  men,  but  the  ignorance 
of  i^hiiih  18  the  ruin  and  damnation  ofniany.     I 
Irish  all  youth  rightly  understood^i  that  the  iminense 
eternity  of  happiness  or  misery,  which  waits  them 
after  this  life,  depends  upon  this  part  of  our  time 
irhich  all  the  world  sTight,  and  which  the  mo^st  part 
AJttifA(yy  in  wickecfn{*88.      To  convince  you 'of  ibis 
inUb,  I  shall  produce  no  Itss  than  the  isentigient  of, 
^he  sacred  scripture,  that  is,  of  the  Boly  Ghost, 
-wiRhose  words  are  so  express,  that  it  is  impossible  to 
•^euht  of  it.    For  why  doth  it  in  so  many  places  ex- 
hprt  young  people  to  think  of  their  salvation  be- 
'^nii'S,  and  to  apply   themselves  to  virtue  in  their 
yoath,    except   it  were   to    shew  of  how  great 
importaiice  that  tkne  is  for  their  salvation  ? 

W\\y  does  it  say  in  Ecclesiasticus  :  "Remetnbeir 
thy  Creator  in  the  days  oflhy  youth,  bef<9V=|B,  jtb^ 
Aimc  of  affliction  come."     From  whence  coiweii  tt^ 
that  it  assures  us  in  the  book  of  Proverbs,  ''Instruotf 
a  young  man  according  to  his  way,  and  nh#^n  he  is 
old,  he  will  not  depart  from  it ;''  that  is,  the  man- 


122 


The  Catholic  School  Book 


ner  of  life  which  he  has  begun.  Wherefore  does  it 
say  bj  the  prophet  Jeremy  :  that  "It  is  good  for  a 
man  when  he  has  borne  the  yoke  from  his  youth  ;" 
that  is,  has  applied  himself  to  virtue,  and  to  bear 
the  pleasing-  yoke  of  God's  commandments. 

Why  in  Ecclesiastic  us  are  youth  ^o  earnestly  ex-- 
lioj  ted  to  virtue,  by  those  excellent  words,  able  to 
soften  the  most  insensible  hearts  ?  "My  son,  from 
thy  youth  up,  receiv  e  instruction,  and  even  to  thy 
grey  hairs  thou  shall  find  wisdom.  Come  to  her  «s> 
one  that  ploweth  and  soweth,  that  is,  with  cara  and 
labour,  and  wait  for  her  good  fruits.  For  in  work^ 
ing  about  her  thou  shalt  labour  a  little,  and  shall 
quickly  eat  of  her  fruits.  How  very  unpleasant  is

continue  with  her.  But  with  them  to  whom  she  is 
known,  she  contiuueth  even  to  the  sight  of  God.*' 
vi.  18.  All  the  rest  of  the  chapter  is  but  a  contin- 
ued exhortation  to  younuf  people  to  be  virtuoos. 
Wherefore  in  the  twenty-fifth  chapter  does  it  say  : 
"The  things  that  thou  hast  notgc^hered  in  (by 
youth, I  how  shalt  thou  find  them  in  thy  old  age  ?'' 

Lastly,  among  the  books  of  sacred  scripture,  why 
was  there  one  expressly  made  for  the  instruction  of 
vouth,  which  is  that  of  Proverbs  ?  Does  not  all  this 
manifestly  discover,  that  the  Holy  Ghost  would  give 
men  to  understand,  that  the  time  of  youth  is  of 
greater  consequence  than  the  greatest  part  imagine; 
and  that  all  the  happiness  or  misery  of  man,  whether 
in  this  life  or  in  the  next,  depends  generally  on  that 
time  well  or  ill  employed  :  this  observation  being 
generally  true,  that  those  secure  their  salvation, 
who  in  their  youth  are  bred  up  in  the  fear  of  God,

The  first  example  Which  I  shall  produce  it  that 

ef  Joseph,amodelof  virtde  in  his  youth,  and  wiuch 

I  have  alightly  mentioned  in  the  first  part.     At 

sixteen  yeara of  age  he   abhorred  vice  m  such  a 

manner,  that  the  wicked  examples  of  his  brethren 

[^ould  never  corrupt  his  innocence  ;  on  the  contrary, 
not  being  able  to  endure  their  wickedness,  he  gave 

Inotice  thereof  to  bis  father  Jacob.  The  greatness 
of  his  virtue,  for  which  he  was  singularly  favoured 
by  God,  and  tenderly  loved  by  his  father,  drew  upon 

jbim  the  enmity  ot  his  brethren,  who  meeting  him 

[one  day  in  the  fields,  conspired  to  murder  him  ; 
>ut  havings  a  horror  of  dipping  their  nands  iu  his 
>l6od,  they  resolved  to  let  him   down  into  an  old 

Ipit,  with  a  design  of  leaving   him   there  ,^to  perish. 

This  poor  child,  not  able  to  softej)  ililir  crusty, 

>y  prayers  and  teaw,  was  obhged  to  yield,  putting 

ill  his  Confidence    in  God,   who  never   abaniiona 

those  who  love  him.     In  this  he  was  not  deceived  ;

that  is  until  sbout  th^  age  of  twenty.  See  tUe  coin 
sequence  of  it,  and^liow  hd  passed  the  rest  of  bis  life;. ; 
wherein  I  observe  three  remarkable  occasions  io 
which  his  virtue  underwent  the  scverefift  trial.  The 
first  was  about  that  age  wben  h«  sustained  the  m^^%

But  Joseph  Coitfuued  immoveable  in  his  first  vir- 
tue :  and  as  he  bad  learned  patience  in  bis  ypytbjby 
the  periecution  of  his  hrethren,  he  bore  this  with 
wonderful  constancy,  comforting  him^ff  in  th^e  oon- 
victionofKis  innocence^  of  which  God  was  hoth 
witness  and  protector.  God^  who  had  alwayaVeen

wonderfully  deliver  him,  as  he  did  presently  after.

him  a  general  charge  ;  with  absolute  power  to  dis- 
pose of  all  things  according  to  his  will^  commaniling 
his  subjects  to  obey  him  as  himself.  In  this  hi^h 
station  vrhich  generally  dazzles  men's  eycis.  and

Forgetfulness  of  God,  pride,  covetonsness,  and 
[revenge,  the  usual  attendants  on  unlimited  povver^ 
could  never  find  admittance  into  his  breast.  Ha- 
ving an  opportnnity  of  revenging  himself  on  his 
brethren,  who  came  into  Egypt  to  buy  provisions  du- 
ring a  severe  famine,  he  not  only  omitted  it,  but  re« 
:eived  them  with  such  tenderness  and  marks  of  af- 
jfedtion,  as  to  draw  tears  from  those  who  resid  the 
scripture  account  of  it.  He  carried  himself  in  this 
jtation  with  so  much  justice,  that  no  complaint 
rasever  made  of  his  conduct ;  on  the  contrary,  the 
Igyptians  proclaimed  him  their  deliverer,  being 
fr^ed  from  want  during  a  seven  years'  famine,  by 
[his  great  prudence,  for  which  he  was  entitled  in 
]t(rose  <5ountiies.  The  Saviour  of  the  World, 

He  persevered  thus  in  virtue  and  the  fear  of  God 
In  the  midst  of  grandeur,   from  the  age  of  thirty, 
fhen  he  was  raised  to  that  fortune,    even   to    the

O  Theotime,  that  I  had  a  pen  capable  of  imprin- 
ting this  important  truth  more  lasting  ia  your  heart 
than  in  brass  or  marble,  and  making  you  perfectly 
comprehend  the  great  and  dreadful  (,i^«ulty  of  a- 
mendment  after  a  youth  spent  in  vice.  A  difficulty 
so  great,  that  it  is  almost  impossible  sufficieiitly  to 
expresa  it ;  and»ou  the  other  side  so  general  that  we 
cannot  consider  it  attentively,  without  beinj^  touch, 
ed  with  a  hvely  sorrow,  seeing  such  numbers  6t 
Christians,  and  principally  of  youu;^  people,  who 
groan  under  the  tyranny  of  a  vicious  habit,  which 
being  contracted  in  their  youth,  and  increased  with 
age,  leads  them  to  perdition ;  from  which  if  they 
chance  to  recover,  it  is  with  incredible  pains  and 
combats,  and  by  a  manifest  miracle  of  divine' grace. 
Learn,  dear  Tiieotime,  to  avoid  this  danger,  and 
endeavour  lo  conceive  its  ^^reatiiess,  either  that  you 
may  entirely  prevent  it,  or  quickly  withdraw  your-

runs  blindly  into  sin,  and  from  thence  proceeds  all 
the  evil ;  because,  as  St.  Aujfusfine  says,  "  The 
will  not  governed  turns  to  an  easier  desi.e  of  sin, 
and  by  our  gratify  injL;  this  desire  it  is  formed  into  a 
habit,  and  a  habit  not  resislod  becomes  n  necessi- 
ty ;"  that  is  an  extreme  difficulty  in  avoiding  sin. 
Hence,  ^vh^n  a  person  is  ai rived  at  this  pitch,  theVe 
ai^e  nt>  hopes  of  his  amendment;  because,  as  ano- 
ther author  (S.  Isidore)  adds,  **  Necessity  termin- 
ates in  death,  by  exposing  him  who  lies  under  it  to 
fin alim penitence ." vn  >  ..       ^     '.  *i; 

,  The  second  cause  of  this  great  difficulty  is,  the 
decrease  of  divine  grace  ;  for  as  God  multiplies  his 
favours  to  those  who  receive  them  with  humility, 
aad  employ  them  for  their  saivatioii ;  so  he  diminish- 
es them  to  those  nho  abuse  and  contemn  them, 
^^ow  if  he  deals  thus  with  mankind  in  general,  much 
ivore  with  youth,  on  whom  as  he  bestovrs  many 
favours  as  long^  as  they  remain  deserving  of  them, 
so  he  withdraws  his  kindness  when  thcyabute  them, 
as  we  may  learn  by  the  experience  of  those,  who 
havhig  been  favoured  with  particular  obligations 
from  God  in  their  youth,  presently  become  sensible 
of  a  great  diminution  of  those  favours,  occasioned 
by  th«ill  use  they  have  made  of  the  same.  '^^P-^' 
.  God  himself  threatens  this  by  a  prophet,  when 
Le  speaks  thus  :  in  that  day  the  fair  virgins  and  the 
young  men  shall  faint  for  thirst ;  they  that  swear 
by  the  sin  of  Samaria  ;  that  is,  who  make  profes- 
sion of  adoring  the  idols  which  the  city  of  Samaria 
adores.  This  thirst  is  not  only  a  corporeal,  but  a  spi- 
ritual thirst,  and  the  want  of  divine  grace,  of  which 
it  is  spoken  immediately  before  9 1  will  send  forth  a

thii'st  of  water,  but  of  he  arinj;  the  word  of  tht;  Lord. 
The  tliird  cause  of  the  great  difficuliy  ot*  cor- 
recting; the  hahi!  s  CQiitiaeted  in  youth,  Is  the  pow- 
er of  the  devil,  who   gains  ground  in   proportion 
as  our  sins  increase,  and  the  grace  of  God  is  dimi- 
nished.    This  is  the  proper  effect  of  «in,  viz.  after 
(]<  pri\  ing  a  soul  of  the  grace  and  protection  of  her 
Creator,  to  subject  her  to  the  dominion  of  the  De^ 
Til,  and  engage  her  more  in  that  unhappy  slavery, 
in  proportion  as  she  continues   in  vice.     O   Theo- 
liipp,  who  can  sufficiently    express  thn  deplorable 
state  of  a  soul  reduced  to  that  servitude,  under  th& 
tyranni  of  her  mortal  enemy,  who  employs  all  his 
Itnt^ines  end  devices,  to  destroy  her  without  reco- 
|very  ;   by  suggesting  all  tenaptations  that  are  like- 
ly to  draw  hep  into  sin  ;  by  furnishing  her  daily 
>Mth  new  occasions  of  destruction,  by    diverting  her 
roin  those  that  might  withdraw   her  from  herun-^ 
fiappy  state  :  by  hurrying  h«^r  from  sin  to  sin,  from 
)ne  voice  to  another,  till  the  measure  of  her  iniqui- 
ties being  filled  up,  she  is  at  last  abandoned  to  the 
>evil,  by  a  visible  effect  of  the  divine  wrath  ! 
Thus  does  this  cruel  enemy  treat  those  whom  he 
ms  under  his  power,  by  a  just  permission  of  God,- 
ho  thus   rejects  those   who  withdraw  themselves 
[rem  his  service  and  friendbhip,  and  who   refuiiing

Old  Testament,  there  is  found  but  one  example,  a 
thing  almost  incredible,  iathe  persoii  of  Manasses^l 
king  oi  Juda.     For  this  one  it  produces  a  vast  mim«

us  sufeciently  to  understand  that  they  were  all 
wicked  in  that  age;  except  Jehu^  who  wa^  after- 
wards perverted  like  the  rest.  ;!y* 

Amongst  tiie  kinps  of  Juda,  who  likewise  reign- 
ed to  theMumber  of  nineteen  after  Solomon,  there 
were  six  who  were  good,  that  is  Asa,  Josaphat^O- 
zias,  Jonathan,  Ezcchias,  and  Josias';  all  the  others 
were  wicked.     Those  who  were  good  began    from, 
their  youth,  and  continued  such  all  their  life  ;  tb|i  4 
greatest  partof  those  who  were  vicious,  began  thefeS- 
wickedness  in  their  younger  years,  and  never  altfer-* 
ed  their  conduct. 

Thus  it  is  said  of  King  Ochozias,  that  he  began  to 
reign  about  twenty -two  years  of  age,was  wicked  and  . 
attached  to  the  idolatry  of  impious  Achab^  king  of 
Israel,  which  was  taught  him  by  his  mother,  Ath^ia« 
sister  of  that  wicked  king  ;  he  reigned  but  a  year, 
at  the  end  whereof  he  died  in  his  wickedness. 

Itis^aid  of  Achaz,  that  he  Was  twenty  years  of 
age  When  he  began  to  reign  ;  that  he  did  not  apply 
himself  to  good,  and  to  the  serviceof  God,  but  follow- 
ed the  example  of  the  idolatrous  kings  of  Israel,  and- 
that  he  far  surpassed  them,  iT>  impiety,,  wherein  he 
died,  after  he  had  continued  in  vice^for  the  space  of 
sixteen  years.  / 

Amon  reigned  at  the  age  of  twenty-t^o,  s^  'be-\* 
came  a  follower  of  the  vices  of  his  father  Manasses, ' 
butnot  of  his  repentance,  and  died  in  his  sins  at  the 
end  of  two  years,  murdered  by  his  own  servants. 

Joachim   began  at  the   age  of  twenty-five,  and' 
reigned  eleven  years  ;  during  which   time  he  was 
wicked  like  the  rest  of  his  ancestors,  apd  died  in  his 
iniquities,  without  being  lanjgnted  by  any  one,  and-

the  threat  of  the  prophet  Jtreiriy. 

Bis  son  Joachim,  huvirg succeeded  at  the  age  of 
(ightten,  reigned  hut  three  rncnihs,  at  the  end  nhere- 
Vf  he  cesevAed  for  his  sins  to  fall  into  the  hands  of

coRitt  to  the  crown  at  ti-«  age  of  tvvcnt\-6ne  was  ai- 
sa  wicked  iike  his  |  redcc<is^:ol^  ;  Jind  having  conti* 
imed  in  his  iniquities  for  the  space  of  eleven  ycnrs, 
he  dre^v  u{)on  himself  and  his  jjeople  the  most  rigo- 
rous effect  of  that  vengeance,  with  vhich  G(ci  had 
Jong  threatened  the  Jewish  nation.  For  in  the 
ninth  year  of  his  reign,  t!ie  city  of  Jerusalem  was 
besieged  by  Nebuchodnosor,  king  of  Babylon,  and 
after  two  years  siege,  it  was  taken,  pillaged,  and 
put  to  fire  and  sword;  the  temple  of  God  ransacked 
;ind  burnt;  and  t'.hcever  had  escaped  the  fury  of 
the  s'l^oid  or  fj:niine,  were  jent  into  captivity.  Se- 
decias  himself, fj5ing  viith  his  children,  was  taken, 
lind  broight  before  the  proud  king;  who,  after 
venting  liis  fury  and  indignation,  caused  his  children 
t*>  be  butchered  hefore  his  face,  and  afterwards  pull- 
<^vi  out  his  eyes  and  sent  him  captive  into  Babylon, 
wherehe  died  in  misery,  in  just  punishment  of  his  iu- 

To  these  examples,  which  are  very  common  in 
sacred  scripture,  of  such  as  have  never  corrected 
their  vices  in  their  youth,  and  who  have  died  in 
their  sins,  we  iind  hut  one  in  th«  Old  Testament

years  inhoritedhis  crown,  hut  not  his  virtues  :  for

he  had  received  from  him,  he  addicted  hiujs  If  to 
every  kind  of  vice  and  impiety.  His  iniquities 
daily  increased  until  the  fifteenth,  or  according  to 
ethers,  till  the  two  and  t^ventieth  yeur  of  his  reign, 
wherein  God  punished  his  crimes  in  an  exemplary 
manner.  He  was  taken  by  the  Assyrians  in  t'^e  ci- 
ty of  Jerusalem,  sent  captive  into  Bahylon,  loaded 
with  irons  and  chains,  and  cast  into  a  frightful  pri-

persecution.  Being  reduced  to  this  extremityV  ho 
betyan  to  open  his  eyes,  and  call  upon  God  in  hh 
afflictions,  whom  he  had  forgotten  in  his  prosperity. 
He  acknowledged  his  iniquities,  and  sued  for  pardon 
with  a  truly  contrite  heart,  and  hy  the  force  of  tedrs 
and  prayers  obtained  from  God  his  deliverance:  af- 
ter which  he  did  penance  for  his  sins,  and  lived  ia 
holiness  the  remainder  of  his  life,  even  to  the  age  of 
sixty-seven,  when  he  died.  See  here,  Theotime,  a

yourself  to  God  in  youp  youth,  you  must  remember, 
that  the  Devil,  that  sworn  enemy  of  man's  salvation 
fearing  uotbing  more  than  to  see  you  virtuous  in  your 
youth,  employs  all  his  endeavours  to  overcome  you 
withouthopesof  recovery.;  J  ^  -,>i'^., 

This  truth  is  manifest  from  all  we  have  said  before. 
That  cursed  fieul,    who  studies  nothing  but  to  rob 
God,  as  much  as  he  can,  of  the  honour  due  to  him, 
and  men  of  the  happiness  prepared  for  them,  knows 
very  well,  that  to  lead  youth  into  vice  is  the  means 
of  taking  from  God  the  first  and  greatest  acknow- 
ledgement which  men  owe  to  him.    In  the  second 
place,  he  knows  how  injurious  to  God  a  wicked  life 
in  youth  is  :  and  thirdly,  the  dreadful  consequences 
of  it,  viz.  a  deep  engagement  in  sin,  a  hardness  of 
heart,  and  impatience  ef  mind.     Moreover,  he  un- 
derstands very  well,  that  there  is  no  other  more  cer- 
tain way  to  fill  the  earth  with  iniquities,  and  to  damn 
mankind.     This  is  the  reason  why  he  employs  all 
his  industry  to  corrupt  the  innocence  of  youth,  the 
.first  source  of  salvation  and  all  other  blessings.    He 
knows  well,  that  to  poison  the  waters  of  a  fountain,  it 
.is  sufficient  to  cast  venom  into  the  spring,  which 
communicates  it  easilv  to  all  the  brooks  :  and  that 
to  conquer  a  realm,  the  best  method  is  to  secure 
the  fioutier  places,  which  give  eqti'S^nqe  into  the 
heart  of  the  country.  ^       ' '  -^  ^  ; 

This  cursed  fiend  understands  well  how  to  put  in 

practice  the  mischierhe  taught  Phayoah,  to  whom  he 

suggested  the  destruction  of  all  the  male  infants  of 

the  Israelites,  that  so  he  might  exterminate  thepeo- 

^.ple  of  God.

Thus  this  cruel  enemy  em|>loys  i\\\  \\h  malice  to  mur- 
der the  children  bv  sin,  and  strives  to  blind  interior-

from  such  imminent  danger.       ,*

and  elated  with  his  vi^^tories,  carried  as  the  fairest 
part  of  triumph,  the  young  people  of  the  city  of  Je- 
Kusalera  prisoners  before  him,  as  is  related  by  the

This  war  of  the  enemy  of  mankind  against  young 
people  is  a  thing  so  manifest,  that  the  same  St.  John 
writing  to  the  faithful,  and  congratulating  every  age 
for  the  blessings  most  peculiar  to  them,  expresses 
a  particular  congratulation  to  youngj  people,  for  the 
victory  they  have  gained  over  the  enemy,  as  being 
those  who  are  most  persecuted.  "  I  write  to  you 
young  men,"  says  he, "  because  you  have  overcome 
the  wicked  one.  1  write  to  you,  young  men,  be- 
cause you  are  strong^  and  the  word  of  God  abideth 
in  you,  and  you  have  overcome  the  wicked  one." 

Happy  are  all  those  young  people  to  whom  with 
truth  we  may  say,  that  they  have  conquered  the 
enemy  of  their  salvation.  I  represent  unto  you  here 
the  war  he  wages  against  those  of  your  age,  that 
we  may  congratulate  you  in  that  manner  ;  and  that 
by  the  persecution  he  raiseth  against  you,  you  majt 
know  first  how  necessary  it  is  that  you  should  be 
virtuous  in  your  youth,  since  the  Devil  endeavours 
so  powerfully  to  corrupt  you.  Secondly,  with  how 
much  courage  you  ought  to  resisjt  the  attempts  of 
Jhat  cruel  enemy,  who  seeks  your  destruction  with 
so  much  fury.  Howls  it  possible  you  should  not 
Stand  in  horror  of  that  enemy,  and  dread,  more  than, 
death,  to  let  yourself  be  overcome  by  him^  who 
seeks  all  ways  to  destroy  you  for  ever  ?      ^

*  On  the  Knowledge  of  true  Virtue. 

The  first  means  of  acquiring  virtue  is  the  know, 
ledge  of  it,  and  the  discerning  of  solid  piety  from 
that  which  is  false  and  imaginary.  '    , 

V  Many  seem  to  love  virtue,wbo  avc^  far  from  it,  be-

cause  they  love  not  virtne  as  it  is  in  itself,  but  as 
they  represent  it  to  themselves,  every  one  according 
to  his  own  inclination.  Some  think  themselves  vir- 
tuous, when  they  are  not  of  the  number  of  the  wick- 
ed. Others  place  virtue  in  abstaining  from  certain 
vices,  from  which  they  have  a  kind  of  aversion, 
though  subject  to  others  no  less  criminal  in  the  sight 
of  God.  Others  esteem  themselves  virtuous  if  they 
follow  some  religious  practices,  although  on  the  o- 
ther  side  they  wholly  neglect  the  interior  regulation 
of  their  conscience,  too  often  defiled  with  mortal 
sins.  All  these  are  so  much  the  more  to  be  lament- 
ed, as  they  imagine  themselves  to  be  in  a  good  w«y^ 
but  they  are  absolutely  out  of  it ;  and  thinking  to 
arrive  by  that  course  at  the  port  of  salvation,  they 
find  themselves  at  length  in  the  direct  road  to  per- 
dition, verifying  in  that  respect  that  saying  of  Solo-' 
mon  :  '^There  is  a  way  which  seemeth  just  to  a 
man  :  but  the  ends  thereof  lead  to  death.'' 

Virtue,  Theotime,  does  not  depend  on  the  opin- 
ion of  m^n,  i^is  the  work  of  Ood  ;  from  him  then 
must  we  learn  its  rule,  since  he  alone  can  direct  iu 
what  manner  he  will  he  served. 

Hearken  then  to  what  God  sajpsof  it  in  the  sa- 
cred scripture,  and  he  will  teAch  you  how  wisdom, 
t))at  is,  virtue,  consists  in  fearing  God,  and  flying 
absolutely  from  sin,  and  that  he  has  thus  instructed 
man  in  his  creation.- ■■■\o.«-;'c:i;j"V\'^';M:-   .      ,  ,  ■  .f/'-^^t^  v,.:. 

"  Then,"  says  Job,  that  is,  in  the  beginmng  of 
the  world,  '^  God  said  to  man,  behold  the  fear  of 
the  Lord  :  that  is  wisdom,  and  to  depart  from  evil 
is  understanding." 

He  teaches  the  same  thing  by  the  royal  prophet.

by  whom  he  gives  you  this  general  rule  of  vi'  tup, 
'*  Decline  from  evil  ani  do  goad." 

Wise  8olornon' informs  you  of  the  same  truth  ; 
''  Fear  God."  says  he,  "  and  kerp  his  comman  i- 
ments  :  for  this  is  all  man  :  in  that  consists  the  per- 
fection of  man,  for  that  he  was  horn,  t)iat  is  his  last 
end  and  real  happiness. 

In  short,  the  sacred  scripture  acknowledj^es  no 
other  wisdom  or  piety  than  the  fear  of  God,  which 
it  calls  tho  hegtnnip.g,  tho  fullness^  and  the  crown 
of  wisdom.  m^H'^p.i^^M^:''i:i^'j]^-''fr^. 

Now  this  fear  is  not  that  wliich  is  purely  servib, 
that  is,  apprehends  more  the  p  inishmentj  than  de- 
tests the  sin  ;  bunt  is  a  loving  fear  of  the  children  of 
God,  T^hich  makes  them  hate  siti  because  it  di^Ieas- 
eth  God,  and  love  good  because  it  is  agreeable  to 
him.  Like  the  fear  and  respect  a  good  child  bears 
his  father,  which  makes  hini  ftiurful  to  ofifend,  antt 
diligently  seeks  all  means  of  pleasing  him. 

So  that,  Theotiine,  according  to  the  maxims  of 
the  divine  school,  true  virtue  Consists  in  <he  fear  of 
Cod,  which  produces  a  volnntary  observation  of  his 
commandments,  and  causes  a  fear  and  detestation 
of  offendinu'  God  above  all  things,  and  seeks  menns 
to  please  him  and  retain  his  favour.  This  alone 
ought  to  be  accounted  virtue,  and  that,  which  is  not 
directed  by  this  certain  and  iufullible  rule,  is  to  be 
deemed  fals3  piety.       -  .  •     -    ^

If  any  of  you  want  wisdom,  let  him  ask  of  God,  who 
giveth  to  all  abundantly. 

This  is  the  means  which  wise  Solomon  employed, 
together  with  that  ardent  desire  of  wisdom,  whereof 
we  have  just  now  s^pokcn.  For  in  the  same  place, 
he  says  that  a^t^r  lie  had  considered  all  the  per- 
fection of  wisdom,  he  conceived  such  an  ardent  love 
for  it,  that  he  searched  on  all  sides  to  find  it;  and  that 
in  consideration  of  the  innocence  of  his  tender  age, 
which  he  had  hitl^erto  preserved  untainted,  God  gave 
him  to  understand  that  wisdom  is  the  effect  of  his 
grace,  which  he  could  not  obtain  i;<itbout  God's  as- 
sistance, whereupon  addressing  himself  to  the  autkor 
of  all  wisdom,  he  requested  it  of  him  with  all  the

made  use  of  in  his  youth  to  acquire  virtue.     **When 
I  was  yet  young,  before  I  wandered  about,  I  sought 
for  wisdom  openly  in  my  prayer.     I  prayed  for  her 
before  the  temple,  and  unto  the  very  end  I  will

from  the  bottom  of  your  heart  that  exqellent  prayer 
of  Solomon:  -  ^'%.:^^^^^m.^.-r^^m'ii'^m^mff^^^ 

"God  of  my  fathers,  and  Lord  of  mercy  ;  wbo| 
hast  made  all  things  with  thy  word,  give  me  wis- 
dom that  sitteth  by  thy  throne,  and  cast  me  not  off  I 
from  among  thy  children,  foi  I  am  thy  servant,  and 
the  son  of  thy  hand-maid,  a  weak  man,  and  of  short| 
time,  and  falling  short,  of  the  understanding: judg- 
ment and  laws.     Send  her  out  of  the  holy  heaven  I 
Und  from  the  throne  of  thy  majesty  that  she   may  be 
f^ith  me,  and  may  labour  with  me,  that  I  may  know 
what  is  acceptable  with  thee  :  for  she  knoweth  and 
understandeth  all  things,  and  shall  lead  me  soberly 
in  thy  works,  and  shall  preserve  me  by  her  power.]

Of  Devotion  to  the  Blessed  Virgin, 

On£  of  the  last  means  which  I  assign,  but  also  onei 
of  the  most  effectual,  for  acquiriug  virtue  in  youth, 
isj  devotion  to  the  Blessed  Virgin.  It  is  infalliby 
to  such  who  assiduously  employ  it,  because  it  afj 
fords  at  the  same  time  the  most  powerful  intercessioij 
in  the  sight  of  God  for  obtaining  his  favour^  and  tb^ 
most  perfect  model  for  our  imitation. 

Next  to  God,  and  the  most  adorable  humanitjl 
of  bis  son  Jesus  Christ,  it  is  she  whom  we  must  chieff 
ly  honour  and  love,  by  reason  of  that  most  sublin 
and  excellent   dignity    of   Mother   of  God,  w^ic 
raises  her  above  ail  the  creatures  that  God  has  eve 
created. 

By  her  we  may  receive  all  the  assistance  whiclii 
necessary  for  ui.    She  is  mest  powerful  with  Go(|

to  obtain  from  him  all  that  she  ihall  ask  of  him.*— 
She  is  all  goodness  in  legard  to  us,  by  applying  to 
God  for  us.  Being  mother  of  God,  he  cannot  re- 
fuse  her  request ;  being  our  mother,  she  canhot 
denj  us  her  intercession  when  we  have  recourse  to 
her.  Our  miseries  more  her,  our  necessities  urge 
her  ;  the  prayers  ire  ofier  her  for  our  salvittion 
I  bring  to  us  all  that  we  desire  :  and  St.  Bernard  is 
not  afraid  to  say,  ^^  That  never  any  person  invoked 
that  mother  of  mercy  in  his  necessities  who  has 
not  been  sensible  of  the  effects  of  her  assistance. '^ 

Although  the  Blessed  Virgin  extends  her  good-) 

ness  to  all  men,  yet  we  may  say  she  has  a  particu« 

liar  regard  for  young  people^  whose  frailty  she  knows 

to  be  the  greatest,  and  necessities  the  most  urgent, 

I  especially  for  the  preservation  of  chastity^  which  iii 

roost  assaulted  in  that  age,  and  of  which  she  is '  a 

singular  protectress.     History  is  full  of  examples 

of  saints,  who  haye'i  eserved  this  great  virtue  in 

their  youth|  by  the   ^    istance  of  this  Queen  of 

[Virgins,  and  experience  affords  daily  examples  of 

Ithoee  who  have  gained  great  victories,  by  the  re- 

icourse  they  haye  had  to  her  intercession,  and  who 

[have  happily  adyanced  themselyes  in  virtue  under 

bier  protection,  and  by  the  graces  she  obtains  of 

IGod  for  them.         ,  . 

Be  therefore  deyout  to  the  Blessed  Virgin,  deat 

^heotime  ;  but  let  it  not  be  the  devotion  of  many/ 

rho  think  themselves  so,  in  offering  some  prayer 
to  her,  more  by  custom  than  devotion  ;  and  on  the 
"tther  side  exceedingly  displease  her  by  a  life  full 

)f  mortal  sin,  which  they  commit  without  remorse.

iQ  the  dangers  you  find  yourself  in  of  offending  Gocf« 
You  canftot  shew  your  respect  better,  than  by  ap-

and  you  can  find  no  succour  more  ready  and  favour- 
able than  hers.  It  is  the  couqsel  of  St.  .Bernard  ; 
'4fthe  winds  of  temptations  be  raised  against  yoUy 
if  you  run  upon  (he  rocks  of  adversity,  lift  up  your 
eyes  towards  that  star,  invoke  the  blessed  Vijrgin^ 


In  dangers,  in  extremities,  in  doubtful  aifiairs,  thmk 
upon  ihe  blessed  Virgin,  let  her  not  depart  fronl

may  obtain  tjtid  assistance  of  her  intercession^  1»l

ber  of  her  real  children,  and  she  will  he  youriiro4 
ther,  under  whose  protection  you  shall  never  perish. 
Kemember  well  that  excellent  sentence  of  St.  Aii- 
■elm,  who  presumed  to  say,  "  That  as  he  must  Uh'- 
avoidably  perish  who  has  no  affection  to  the  Bles- 
sed Viigin  Mary,  and  who^forsakes  her;  so  it  i$ 
impossible  he  should  perish  who  has  recourse  to 
her,  and  whom  she  regards  with  the  eyes  of  mercy  .'^ 
'  I  shall  conclude  with  an  excellent  example  which 
I  shall  produce  fbr  a  proof  of  this  truth.  St.  Brigit 
had  a  son  who  followed  the  profession  of  a  soldiet^, 
and  died  in  the  wars.  Hearing  the  news  of  his  death 
she  was  much  concerned  for  the  salvation  of  her  son, 
dead  in  so  dangerous  a  condition ;  and  as  she  was 
often  favoured  by  God  with  revelations,  of  which' 
lire  has  composed  a  book,  she  was  assured  of  thd

Aalration  of  her  son  by  two  subsequent  zerelalions. 
In  the  first,  the  Blessed  Virgin  revealed  to  her,  that 
nhe  had  assisted  her  son  with  a  particular  protectioa 
at  the  hour  of  death,  having  strengthened  him  a- 
gainst  temptations,  and  -obtained  aU  necessary  gra.- 
ces  for  him  to  make  a  holy  and  happy  end.  In  the 
following  she  declared  the  cause  of  that  singular  as- 
sistance  she  gave  her  son«  and  said,  it  was  in  re« 
iOompence  of  his  great  and  mncere  devotion  he  had 
testified  to  her  during  his  lifoj.  wherein  he  had  loved

The  first  is,  wheii  yoa  deliberate  or  on<lertak« 
|tny  important  affair,  wherein  you  have  ne*Zii  of 

funsel  and  assistance.  Flntreat  your  good  angel 
conduct  you  in  that  aflfair,  so  that  you  undertake 
it  i|tv  except  it  be  according  to  the  will  of  God, 
for  his  service  and  your  salvation,  and  to  assist  you 
in  bringing  it  to  a  happy  bsue.  This  means  is  very 
efficacious  to  make  your  affairs  succeed  ;  it  is  im- 
possible they  should  not  prosper  under  so  good  a 
guide*  vrho  is  most  faithful,  wise,  and  powerful. 

The  second  is  when  you  are  assaulted  with  ai^y 
temptatioii,  and  in  danger  of  offending  God.  *<  As 
often  as  any  tribulation  or  violent  temptation  assails 
you,  (says  St.  Bernard)  implore  your  guardian, 
yv)ur  teacjher,  youi:  assistant  in  tribulation.''  This 
r6med7f,  Theotime,  is  very  powerful  in  all  tempta- 
^ons,  and  especially  in  those  agamst  chastity,  of 
which  the  angels  are  lovers,  ^nd  particular  protec: 
tors,  as  beiLg  a  virtue  which  renders  men  like  to 
themselves,  and  which  makes  them  imitate  upon 
r  earth  their  most  Dure  and  celestial  life.  '^  From 
whence  (says  St.  Ambrose)  it  is  no  wonder  if  angels 
'  defend  chaste  souls,  who  lead  upon  earth  a  lifeoif 
angels." 

Next  to  your  good  angel  honour  particularly 
your  patron.  The'  names  c' saints  are  given  us  at

fercessors  with  God,  and  that  by  their  prayers,  and

/lelves  worthily  of  the  obligations  of  a  Christian  life, 
wltereof  we  made  profession  in  baptism..  ''Honour

the  preservation  of  piety^  which  is  the, life  of  the

I  be^in  with  Morning  Prayer,  which  the  wise

wisdom,  recommends  earnestly  to  yon,  **He  will 
give  his  heart  to  resort  early  to  the  Lord,  that  made

I  wish  this  excellent  document  were  deeply  engrail

We  owe  to  God  all  our  actions,  but  chiefiv  the

those  who  failed  to  gather  it  iii  the  morning  found

would  not  have  it  a  constrained,  negligent,  and  in- 
devoat  prayer,  but  a  prayer  with  the  qnite  contrary 
qualities  :  be  says.  The  wise  man  will  giv^  his  heart 
(that  is  will  apply  bis  will  and  affection)  to  resort

will  give  bis  first  thoughts  to  God,  to  adore  him  as 
his  creator^  and  thank  him  for  all  his  benefits,  and 
he  will  pr^y  in  the  ^ight  of  the  Most  High  ;  that  is 
will  consider  the  greatness  of  God,  who  is  present, 
lind  to  whom  he  speaks,  and  considering  the  infin- 
ite grandenr  of  the  divine  majesty  will  attentively 
offer  his  prayers  to  himjitrith  humility  and  great 
modesty,  and  with  a  profound  respect,  begging  of

himln  the  beginning  of  the  day,  so  we  owe  him 
puriiicknowledgement  at  the  end  ot  the  day. 


The  principal  i^art  of  this  action Ti  the  examJh  of

to  fill,  if  yol»  seriously  desire  to  advance  in  virtue.

commit  it  any  more.  3.  Without  this  exercise  we 
fall  into  many  oHences,  which  being  neglected^  lead

By  tbi^  exercise,  ordinary  confessions  are  made 
more  easy  and  frequent,  we  amend  our  lives,  ne 
prevent  an  unprovided  d^ath,  we  prepare  ourselves 
for  judgment  by  judging  ourselves.  And  it  is  in  this

j      Of  the  fear  of  God. 

The  first  virtue  that  is  necessAry  for  you,  is  the 
fear  of  God  ;  it  is  that  which  next  to  faith  is  the  ba- 
sis and  ground  work  of  all  others.  The  scripture 
cajlsit  "The  beginning  of  wisdom  ;**  and  it  teach- 
eth  us,  that  it  is  the  first  thing  which  ousrht  to  be  in- 
spired into  young  souls.  For  this  reason  Solomon 
instructing  youth  in  his  Proverbs,  begins  his  instruc- 
tion with  this  excellent  precept,  so  often  repcatcH  in 
sci^ipture,  "  The  fear  of  the  Lordie  the  beginning 
of  wisdom.''  And  the  same  scripture^  in  the  histo- 
ry of  bo^  Tobias,  observes  expi^MsIyi  that  having

A  cbill  from  his  infancy  he  taught  him  to  fear  God, 
aud  abstain  froni  all  sin. 

By  this  fear  we  mast  not  understand  across  and 
servile  fear,  that  stands  in  aue  of  nothing*  but  the 
puuishnient,  which  it  apprehends  more  than  the  of- 
tence ;  but  a  respect' ql  fear,  by  which  considering 
the  greatness  and  Majestj  of  God,  his  sanctityj,  bi» 
power,  hisjustice^  we  coneeiva  a  profound  respect, 
aud  apprehend  above  all  thin  4s  to  fall  by  mortal  sin 
into  the  displeasure  of  a  God  so  great,  so  holy,  so 
powerful,  so  just. 


This,  Th^otlme,    is  the  fear  of  God^  which  is  the 


God,  who  is  the  author  of  it  :  say  to  him  frequency 
from  the  bottom  of  your  heart.  "Pierce  i\mn  my 
fle^h  with  thy  fear,  for  I  am  afraid  of  thy  judg^-^ 
menls."  2  Conceive  an  awful  respect  for  the  ma- 
jesty of  God.  He  is  the  sovereign  Lord  of  ail  things, 
iafinite  in  all  his  pcrfectiioc,  in  majesty,  in  wisdom, 
in  goodnes?,  in  power,  in  justice.  All  creatures  a- 
dore  him,  the  ari|;;els  themselves  tremble  Qt  the  sight 
of  his  immensity.  All  that  is  great  it|  the  world  is 
hut  an  atom  in  his  sight,  and  as  he  has.  created  all 
things  by  one  word,  so  he  could  destroy  them^U  in 
a  moment.  There  is  none  like  to  thee,  O  l<ord  ; 
thou  art  icreat,  and  great  is  thy  name  in  naight.  Who 
shall  not  fear  thee,  O  Kins;  of  nations  ?  Fear  above 
all  things  to  displease  God,  and  let  that  be  the  first 
and  principal  thing  \o^   regard  in  all  your  actions,

In  a  word,  the  love  of  God  consists  in  prefefrifiuj 
6«h1  before  fttl  things  ;  before  the  goods  of  the 
worhii  pleasures/ honours^  friefids,  and  life  itself  ;su  I 
that^ou  must  be  prepared  never  to  love  these  things 
to  the  prejudice  of  the  love  you  owe  to  God;  ami 
be  resolved  rather  to   lose  them  a  thousand   tirh(s| 
than  be  watiting  to  the  obedience  you  are  ob)'gc(lto| 
render  unto  hini.     It  is  in  this  preference  of  God  a- 
bove  all  thiugs,the  essential  point  of  the  love  ofGodj 
consists  ;  a  preference  without   \ihich  it  is  ifflpossi.|

You  must  then  labour  early  to  acquire  this  so  i*

^engrave  it  deep  in  your  heart  ^  and  to  the  end  you 
be  not  deceived  therein^  by  taking,  as  very  many 
do,  apparent  love  for  the  real,  see  the  principal  acts 
you  must  practise  therein,  by  vihich  you  may  knovj 
%hetheryou  love  God  truly  or  no,     1.  Above  all 
things  fear^  and  have  a  horror  of  sin,  because  it  is 
^displeasing to  God,    and  inOnitely  opposite  to  his! 
goodness,  and  be  resolved  never  to  commit  a  sin  up- 
on any  account  whatsoever.     2.  Fly  venial  sins  asj 
much  as  possible^  because  they  displease  God  ;  aiiil{ 
jtlthough  t^ey  destroy  not  his  love,  yet  tbey  di- 
miaish  and  weaken  itjiiid  dispose  you  to  fall  into  sin.

tnvsUrn  that  brougtit  him  into  the  worid«—  Yes, 
Thcotime,  if  yon  have  the  fear  of  God  in  your 
beart,  you  will  honour  your  parents,  and  all  those 
to  i^horn  he  has  given  authorify  over  yoit,  because 
it  his  will  and  command.  Honour  thy  father  and 
thy  mother  ;  and  if  you  honour  ihem  not,  you 
hai/e  neither  the  fear  nor  the  loye  of  God, 

For  to  contemn  a  duty,  which  niitiu*e  herself  die. 
tates,  and  which  God  has  so  strictly  commanded  is 
not  to  have  the  fear  of  God.  There  is  no  menace 
%hich  he  h&s  not  denounced  against  those  children 
,^'ho  are  wanting  to  this  duty.  He  says.  He  that 
^fBicteth  his  father,  and  chaseth  away  his  mother, 
is  ififamoui  and  unhappy.  He  that  curseth  his  fa- 
ther and  mother,  his  lamp  shall  be  put  out  in  the 
iifiidst  of  darkness.  The  eye  that  mocketh  at  his 
father,  and  that  despiseth  the  labour  of  his  mother 
in  bearing  him,  let  the  ravens  of  the  brooks  pick  it 
out,  and  the  young  eagles  eat  it.  Of  what  an  evil 
fame  is  he  that  forsaketh  his  father  ;  and  he  is  cur* 
Bed  of  God  that  an|$ereth  hie  mother.  Lwish  these 
menaces  were  deeply  engraven  in  the  minds  of  all 
children,  who  forget  ever  so  little  their  duty  towards 
their  parents.  ^#  _.       ^ 

Render  then  to  your  parents,  Theotime,  tie  hi- 
nour  you  owe  them  ;  considering,  1st.  That  it  is 
just  and  reasonable  ;  2nd.  That  God  will  have  it 
V  10  :  God,  1  say  whose  hiH  ought  to  be  the  rula 
of  oor  actions,  and  whose  command  is  the  tnost  pow- 
erful motive  to  a  genc^rOus  soul.  The  hdnour  jou 
ought  to  give  to  your  parents  includes  four  princi-

1.  Bear  them  great  respect,  considering  tbem  as 
those  from  whorn^  next  to  God,  ^oi:  have  receiired  I 
your  beingl  Never  despise  them  iipon  an^  consi- 
deration whatsoever;  either  interiorly,  by  any 
thought  of  contempt  ;  or  exteriorly,  by  any  words, 
or  disrespectful  behaviour. —  Receive  with  good 
will  their  instructions,  admonitions  and  reprimands. 
My  spn,  Says  the  wise  man,  hear  the  instructions  of 
thy  father,  and  forsake  hot  the  law  of  thy  mother. 
A  fool  laugheth  at  the  instruction  of  his  father, 
but  he  that  re$;ardeth  reproofs  shall  become  moro 
prndent. 

2.  Entertain  an  affectfonate  love  for  them.  Re- 
member, says  ^he  i\ise  man,  that  thou  haost  not 
been  born  but  through  them  ;  and  mi^e  a  return  to 
them.  Now  this  can  only  be  done  by  loving  them • 
Yet,  take  notice,  that  this  love  must  not  only  be  a 
natural  and  sensible  love  ;  it  must  also  be  a  ra^ 
tional  love,  and  according  to  God*  To  love  lb<eni 
according  to  Go4,  you  must  love  them  ^  because 
God  commands  it,  and  as  he  commands  it,  that  is, 
in  such  a  manner  that  you  love  principally  their 
spiritual  good  and  salvation,  and  endeavour  to  pro- 
cure it  by  your  prayers,  and  all  other  means  which 
lie  i^  your  power. 

3.  Shew  a  ready  obedience  to  tbem,  as  holding 
the  place  of  God  ;  yet  only  as  St.  Paul  admits,  in 
the  Lord,  because  such  is  his  will  ;  for  it  is  Grod 
who  commands  you  to  obey  tbem,  and  when  you 
obey  them  you  obey  God  ;  as,  on  the  contrary', 
not  obeying  tbem,  you  disobey  God,  exciait  ^hfey 
command  any  thing  against  the  honour  of  w4^  or 
your  good  ;  for  in  these  two  eases  you  o\1f^<l:  tl^  na

A  habit  or  custom  of  lying  opens  a  gale  to  ap

(hereof  is  not  goo<l  ;.  that  is,  according  to   the    ex- 
pression of  the  scripture,  it  is  very  bad.  . 

In  a  word,  it  is  so  wicked  a  quality  of  the  niirtd* 
to  be  a  liar,  that  the  scripture  speaks  of  it  in  unusual 
terms.  It  says  that  God  abhors  it  ;  that  lying  lips 
are  an  abomination  to  t)te  Lord  ;  as  on  the  con- 
trary, those  who  love  sincerity  in  their  words  gaia 
his  friendship,  Thou,  O  Lord,  wilt  destroy  all  that 
speak  a  lie.  Lying  is  infamoiisamon^.men  ;  A  lie 
is  a  foul  biot  in  a  man,  and  yet  it  will  continually  he 
in  the  mouth  of  men  without  discipline.  A  thief  it 
better  than  a  man  that  is  always  lying-  :  but  both 
of  them  shall  inherit  destruction.  | 

Lastly,  Xliis  vice  makes  men  resemble  the  De-f 
vil,  who  is  pleased  with  nothing  more  than  lies.     It 
^as  he  who  first  invented  it,  and  who  is   the   fathar 
thereof,  as  tiie  S(»n  of  God  has  named  him  with  his 
own  mouth. 

St.  Augustine  «ays'  "  That  as  truth  comes  fron» 
6od^  lying  takes  its  origin  from  the  Devii. ''  And 
St.  Ambrose  adds,  *'Tbat  tho»e  who  love  lying  are 
the  children  of  that  detestable  fiend,  for  the  children 
of  God  love  truth.  Fly  entirely  The*  -time,  this  per- 
nicious vice  in  all  occurrences  but  chiefly  in  two. 
1.  When  you  speak  of  a  thing  of  importance,  that 
is,  when  it  prejudices  your  neighbour  in  his  good*, 
honour,  or  eternal  welfare  wherein  you  ronstbe  v^ty 
cautious,  and  even  more  than  in  regard  of  yoursf If. 

2.  When  you  speak  to  a  person  who  has  autho- 
rity over  you  ;  for  then  a  lie  is  a  very  culpable 
impostur«>.  as  well  ^>f  reason  of  the  respect

])ation  of  minds  and  goods,  the  Mnful  habits  of  aih 
gtr,  of  impatience,  of  sv^earit^fl^,  of  lying:,  of  cove*

and  adherence  to  ill  company,  an  aversion  to  vihat

life  but  a  change  or  succession  of  idleness.  Such 
an  uuhappv  inclination  to  play  frequently  continues 
ail  their  life  to  the  ruin  of  their  wealth  and  honour,

CHAPTER  XXII. 

The   Cormlusion   of  all  that  hut  been  said  in 
the  second  Part, 

It  is  certainly,  Theoti me,  of  great  couiequence 
that  you  should  be  Tirtuous  in  yonr  youojer  /itni, 
ftnd  that  the  good  or  eril  life  of  f  outb  is  not  tnOing;;, 
nor  a  thing  that  deiierYe«  little  care  or  iregiird.  as 
the  ^eat^stpart  of  the  world  tbinlcs  ;  but  that  it  is  a 
bOflinetMi  af  hi^  irapartance,  the  trutb  of  trhich  is 
founded  upon  all  that  is  grtat  an()  saerod  ia  what 
concerns  the  service  of  Go^  and  the  sahadtioQ  of 
men. 

1 .  Yon  ought  to  serve  (Jod  in  yowr  youth/  be- 
Icatise  you  should  be  ready  to  ae1nroiried|fe  Him  ais 
I  your  Creator  and  sovereig:n  iBt9i»ittti  foif  the  bemg 
l^iuhave  received  from  him,  aflrf  oti&oeoimtef  the 
|(snblime  and  excellent  end  for  whieb  he  bee  eveate^ 
jyoQ,  havini^  madeyoii  for  nothing  I^Si  thai  te  pos- 
wfssWm  eternally  in  heaven,  aftcF  you  have  faith- 
|firlly  served  him  on  earth. 

2I  On  account  of  the  great  favour  be  has  shown 
lyou,  in  calling  you  to  Christianity  and  the  Ctitbo- 
lic  religion^  out  of  which  all  those  who  ob&tinatcly 
Iremain  cannot  be  saved. 

3.  Because  tho  service  of .  yoimg  people  is  sin- 
Ignlarly  pleasing  to  God,  since   he  lores  thetn  with  a, 
pardcuiar  aJSVction^  and  is  pleased  to  confer  ihaiiy 
benefits  upon  tb«m. 

4.  Becausa  you  cannoit  refuse  him  5our  s#rif9j| 
^hoirt  ofWrtg him  an  heinous. iifia^

5.  Because  he  hath  an  incredible  aversion  to 
nicked  young  people. 

6.  Because  your  eternal  salvation  Las  a  great 
dependence  upon  the  life  you  lead  in  your  youth  ; 
so  that  if  you  set  your  affection  upon  virtue  in  your 
younger  years,  you  will  easily  preserve  it  the  re- 
uiainder  of  your  life  ;  and  if  you  follow  vice,  you 
cannot  withdraw  yourself  but  with  great  difficulty, 
and  perhaps  not  at  all .    v  v       '     ,»,  ,.^,^    ^^ ;  ^      ? 

7.  To  avoid  the  heavy  misfortunes  which  spring 
from  the  wicked  life  of  youth  ;  uutime.Iy  deatii,  ob- 
durateness  in  sin,  the  loss  of  many  fair  hopes^  and 
the  overflowing  of  vice  among  raeri,   .  >^^  .e.-     . »., 

8.  And,  lastly,  because  of  the  persecution  which 
the  devil  raises  against  young  people,  whom  he  con- 
tinually  endeavours  to  i^ithdraw  from  the  service  of 
God,  and  ensnare  betimes  in  disorders^  that  be  may 
destroy  jthem  without  recovery,      f^        >'«*%f  a  -  >f 

After  all  these  reasons,  I  ask  yon,  Theotime, 
whether  you  now  hesitate  what  you  have  to  do  ? 
Are  not  these  considerations  powei^ful  enough  to 
convince  you  of  the  obligation  you  haVe  to  conse- 
crate yourself  to  virtue  in  your  youth  ?  And  ifyou 
be  convinced  thereof,  what  do  you  mean  ?  What 
are  your  design  and  resolution  for  jhe  futwre  ? 
Perhaps  hitherto  you  liaTO  not  comprehended  the 
greatness  of  this  obligation  ;  but  ncw>  underiitand  it 
clearly,  what  judgment  ovght  you  not  to  expect 
from  God,  ifyou  be  rebelljous  to  the  lijjht,  and  act 
like  those  wietches,  \>ho  say  to  God,  depait 
fi'om   us,  we  desire  not  the  knowledge  of  thy  ways. 

The  Jews  being  returned  from  the  captivity  of 
Babylon,   the  prophet  Edias  caused  iLe  law  d

That  p<?ople  had  scarce  be^tin  to  hear  the  law, 
when  they  wept  bitterly,  and  made  the  air  resound 
with  their  cries  and  lamentatidns  ;  s«i  that  the 
priests  and  levites  who  read  the  Jaw,  were  more 
employed  to  stop  their  tears,  and  comfort,  than  in- 
struct them.  This  poor  people  sadly  deplored 
their  unhappy  ignorance  of  their  duty  :  an  i^ner- 
ance  which  their  own  negligence  had  occasioned' 

0  dear  Theotime,  1  beseech  the  Divine  Good- 
ness by  his  grace  to  work  the  same  effect  in  your 
heart.  After  reading  the  truths  I  have  represented 
to  you,  is  it  possible  that  you  should  not  be  touch- 
ed with  the  force  of  truth,  and  the  care  of  your 
salvation  ?  And  that  after  reading  all  these  reasons 
which  show  the  strict  obligation  you  have  to  the 
service  of  your  Creator,  you  shonid  shut  the  book 
without  making  any  reflection  upon  yourself,  or 
taking  proper  resolutions  for  the  future  •*  I 
conjure  you  by  the  honour  and  respect^  you  owe  to 
God  ;  by  the  love  you  owe  to  his  Son  Jesus  Christ, 
your  gracious  Saviour  ;  by  the  concern  you  ought 
to  have  for  your  eternal  salvation  :  1  conjure  you, 
I  say,  that  you  do  not  read  these  truths  unprofita- 
bly ;  and  that  when  you  have  read  them,  you  do 
not  cast  the  book  out  of  your  hands,  until  you 
have  made  a  full  resolution  to  think  seriously  on 
your  salvation  :  to  that  effect,  firmly  resolve  to  lead 
a  virtuous  life  during  your  youth,  preserving  the 
grace  you  have  received  ;  or  correcting  your  past 
iiie  by  a  holy  and  virtuous  one,  if  it  has  buen  disor- 
derly.

2  Feb,  The  Punjicationhf  tfie  B.  Virgin ,  or 
Candlemas  Day,  is  a  feast  in  commemoration  and 
honour,  both  of  the  presentation  of  our  blessed 
Lord,  and  the  purification  of  our  Lady  in  the  tern* 
pie  of  Jerusalem,  the  fortieth  day  after  her  happy 
delivery,  performed  according  to  the  law  of  Moses, 
j^^XjCV.  xii.  It  is  called  purification,  from  ti*e  Latin 
word  purijico,  which  signifies  to  purify  ;  not  that 
the  blesstfd  Virgin  had  contracted  any  thing  by  her 
child  birth  *«^hicU  needed  purifying,  (being  the  Mo-

Septuagesima ,  Sexagesima,  and  Qiiinqitagesima

Shrovetide  signifies  the  time  of  confession  ;  for 
our  Saxon  ancestors  used  to  say,  We  will  go  shrift; 
and,  in  the  more  primitive  times,  it  was  the  custom 
of  all  good  Christians,  then  to  confess  their  sins  to 
a  priest,  the  better  to  prepare  themselves  for  a  ho*

Lent,  in  Latin  is  called  Quadragesima,  hccaiisa 
it  is  a  feast  of  forty  days,  (exrept  Sundays,  which 
arc  only  abstinence,j  instituted  hy  the  church. 
M!|ny  are  the  motives  for  which  Lent  is  established. 
1.  l^is  fast  is  the  figure  of  the  spirit  of  Penan-e, 
which  every  one  of  the  faithful  ought  to  conserve 
ihroughont  the  whole  time  of  his  life.  2.  It  is,  as 
it  were  a  tythe  or  tenth,  whicli  the  faithful  offer  to 
Goi,  sanctifying  by  fasting  thesfl  forty  days,  whirb 
makes  about  the  tenth  part  of  the  year.  3  Thisi^ 
a  weak  imitation  of  what  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord  per- 
ibrmed  in  the  desert,  in  fasting  forty  days  and  forty 
%ights,  without  eating  or  drinking.  4.  it  was  appoint- 
ed in  consequence  of  the  obligation  whicli  Christ  our 
Lord  imposed  on  his  disciples,  to  fast  after  his  as- 
cension. 5.  By  this  fast  We  participate  in  the  suf- 
ferings of  our  Lord,  in  order  to  have  a  share  in  his 
^lory.  And  lastly,  it  prepares  us  io  celebrate  wor-

ered  and  memorable  day  on  which  the  great  trork 
of  oar  redemption  was  coitsamated,  by  our  Saviour 
JesQS  Christ,  on  his  bIoo,dy  cross,  between  t\^

mournfully  sfapg,  in  lamentation  of  our  Lord'ii  pns-

on  the  evcniogs  of  Wednesday,  Thursday,  and  Fri- 
day they  have  obtained  the  names  of  Tenebrsa  days, 
itom  that  T^nelrmy  or  darlmesf  which  overspread 
the  face  of  the  earth  at  the  time  of  his  passion  ;  for 
which  end  also  the  lights  are  extinguished  ;  and  after 
some  silence  at  the  end  of  the  offices,  a  noise  is  made 
to  represent  the  rending  of  the  veil  of  the  temple, 
and  the  disorder  in  which  all  nature  was  involved  at 
tbe  (^Ml  of  our  diviiiie  Redeemer.s^  ■ ';    ,  :  ^^|^«!4
