Advice from the Puritan William Bates for Scriptural Meditation

Use these rules for Meditating on the truth's of God's Word:
1. Labor to have your heart cleansed from the guilt of sin.
2. Labor for a pure heart. The former rule respected the guilt of sin, this the defilement.
3. Treasure up in your souls a stock of spiritual truths.
4. Sobriety in the use of all worldly things.
5. Labor for fervent love for spiritual things.
Works of Bates ,Volume 3
