*As we have always the _same natures_, and are every where the servants of the same God; as every place is equally full of his presence, and every thing is equally his gift; so we must do every thing as the servants of God; we must live in every place, as in his presence; we must use every thing as that ought to be used which belongs to God. Either this wisdom, and devotion is to go thro’ every way of life, or it is to go through no part of life. If we might forget _ourselves_, or forget God; if we might live by humour or fancy in any thing, or at any time, or in any place, it would be as lawful to do the same in every thing, and every time, and every place. 5. If therefore some people, fancy, that they must be grave and solemn at _church_, but may be _silly_ and _frantic_ at home; that they must live by some rule on the _Sunday_, but may spend other days by chance; that they must have some times of prayer, but may waste the rest of their time as they please; that they must give some money in _charity_, but may squander away the rest as they have a mind; such people have not considered the nature of religion, or the true reasons of piety. For he that, upon principles of reason, can tell why it is good to be wise and heavenly-minded at _church_, can tell that ’tis good to have the _same tempers_ in all other places. He that knows why he should spend any time well, knows it is never allowable to throw any time away. He that rightly understands the reasonableness of _charity_, will know that it can never be excusable, to waste any of our money in pride and folly, or in any needless expences. For every argument that shews the wisdom of charity, proves the wisdom of spending all our fortune well. Every argument that proves the reasonableness of having times of prayer, shews the reasonableness of losing none of our time. 6. *If any one can shew, that we need not _always_ act in the divine presence, that we need not use _every thing_ as the gift of God, that we need not _always_ live by reason, and make religion the rule of all our actions, the same arguments would shew, that we need _never_ act as in the presence of God, nor make religion and reason the measure of _any_ of our actions. If therefore we are to live to God at any time, or in any place, we are to live unto him at all times, and in all places. If we are to use any thing as the gift of God, we are to use every thing as his gift. If we are to do any thing by strict rules of reason and piety, we ought to do every thing in the same manner; because _reason_, and _wisdom_, and piety are as much the best things at _all times_, and in _all places_, as they are the best things at _any time_, or in _any_ place.
