Mr. Fletcher's Advice to a Young Lady.
1. LIVE above earthly and creature comforts. 2. Beware of flatness and lukewarmness; this, if not carried immediately to the Lord, often ends in darkness and deadness. 3. Value divine comforts above all things, and prize Christ above all comforts, that if they should fail, you may still glory in the God of your salvation. 4. Let that which torments others make your happiness. I mean self-denial and renouncing your own will. 5. Be ready to yield with joy to every conviction of the Spirit of God. Be faithful to present grace, and aspire after a continual growth. 6. Live the present moment to God, and avoid perplexing yourself about your past or future experience; by giving up yourself to Christ, as you are, and being willing to receive him now as he is, leaving all the rest to him, you will cut up a thousand temptations by the roots.
