The Wise Choice.

If God be the highest perfection in himself, and the highest good to the creature, then it is the highest wisdom of the creature to choose him, and the highest piece of his duty to live in observance of God.
If all the creatures must certainly appear before this great Majesty, and bow unto him, I admire the wisdom of the godly, and wonder at the folly of the wicked. And seeing this certainly and of necessity must be, Lord, let me be of the number of those who choose thee here, so as forever hereafter I may enjoy thee; and not of those who refuse thee here, and must forever hereafter be separated from thee.
