THE WORKS OF CHRISTOPHER DOCK

94. — Carry thy body decently and modestly, and cover what nature meant to be covered, for thy members are Christ's members, and thy body is a temple of the Holy Ghost.

95. — If God sends a visitation to thy body, bear thy pains with patience, and believe that God loveth thee because he chasteneth.

96. — If God wills that thou shalt be poor, sick and despised in the world, think, “He is the Lord, may He do as it pleaseth Him.”

97. — Remember thou shalt not always live in this world, and prepare betimes for thy departure.

98. — Look upon each day as thy last, then the last day will not find thee unprepared.

99. — Pray God to give thee a definite conviction of the certainty of resurrection, judgment and eternal life.

100. — Fear not death, for if thou hast lived a Christian life, thou canst die blessed and happy.
