For ancient Widows and Maids. Whereas there are divers real and single-hearted Ladies and Gentlewomen, of virtuous and Christianly disposed minds, captivated to the obedience of Christ, and hoping to have his Spirit to inhabit and possess them, whose affections are raised from the things of this earth, and are set on those things that are above, they being blest with freedom, and with the happiness of their own dispose, having unanimously declared their resolutions, with constancy and serenity, so to continue firmly to the end, and to make themselves (by the directing Spirit of Grace) amiable Lovers, amicable Partners, and exemplary Patterns of godly works, by abandoning and deserting (as true Penitentiaries) the base earthliness of their affections, the swelling pride of their hearts, the perverse frowardness of their wills, and avoiding all allurements that might withdraw them, and all oppositions that might provoke them from the duty of their vocation, by becoming indeed and in truth impartial lovers of righteousness, they not taking pleasure in the ordinary way of living, as those whose unbridled appetites are their whole Religion, or seeking themselves, but the glory of the great Disposer of all humane actions, in all their ways, still re-minding the great account they have to pass at the last Audit, when the dearest beloved, the chief Favourites, the fancy-feeding and flattering pleasures of this world, shall shrink from us, and nothing but our own deeds and deserts shall accompany us before the judgement Seat of God, making Christ's Precepts the rule of their practice, and knowing that life is but a vapour, that appeareth but a little time and so vanisheth away. Do therefore during their sojourning here fully determine, to keep themselves in the knowledge and love of God, with an eager pursuit and delight thereof, looking for mercy of our Lord jesus Christ unto everlasting glory and eternal life, and holding fast their integrity, without wavering or falling from their steadfastness, do cast themselves upon the divine Providence, that is able to keep them from falling, and to preserve them faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, being such as the world (being shut up with gloomy darkness) cannot comprehend, nor give unto them or take away from them, making themselves ready to sail towards the Haven of perfection, upon all opportunities of stronger Gailes, with full assurance, that when God is minded to bring his purpose to pass, he doth according to his good pleasure, as seemeth good in the eyes of his heavenly wisdom, put a rectified frame upon our wills, to perform those things that are pleasing in his sight, and ordains means, whereby he doth offer himself unto us, and whereby we are fitted to come unto him, in all holy conversation and godliness. And for the present establishing, perseveration and advancement of these their serious, truly virtuous and gracious determinations (whereunto all true hearted Christians are one way or another, if not engaged, yet concerned) there is a most complete house and harbour of repose intended for them, and such that are impartial lovers of virtue, truth and righteousness, with all accommodation their hearts can wish or desire, near adjoining to the place where the young children (before mentioned) are to reside; from whom (besides the mutual tranquillity, and almost unspeakable harmonious consolation, they may most assuredly receive (under God) from each other) they may likewise enjoy all the content, and comfort that may possible be afforded, by their virtuous breeding, and all the regards, observance and attendance that may be conceived or imagined conducible to such a select and blessed community, viz. a Minister, a Doctor of Physic, a Steward, etc. men of worth, credit and esteem, and of singular, eminent, gracious and natural parts, together with all other necessary officers, which for goodness of life, religion, conversation, and all other abilities, are hardly to be paralleled, with all respective and considerable attendance of women servants allowed likewise by the house, that shall be beyond exceptions, besides such servants as they (if they please) may keep of their own, they allowing but a reasonable proportion for their diets; And it is further so contrived, that all requisites and needful concernments shall be provided for them at the best hand, and at the cheapest rates, both of Merchants and others; here in the City, and from all parts of England. And whatsoever is desired extraordinary, exceeding their constant competency of diet, shall be ordered at all times in the discreetest manner, and shall be always in a readiness provided for them at their chambers, or otherwise, by the cooks, and other officers at command, with all diligence and respect, and with all content that may possible be expected, without the least exaction of fees, etc. but the full allowance of every particular, at the rates they were provided, whereunto there shall be always a diligent care and circumspection evidenced by the Steward and such as are subordinate unto him, no servant being to be admitted into the house without letters of credency and sufficient obligements for their behaviour, and to be dismissed upon the least mis-behaviour whatsoever. There shall likewise be a learned and an eminent Counsellor and Solicitor always at hand, able men of unquestionable trust and uprightness, constantly to take special care of their estates, and with the furtherance, assistance, and concurrence of the superior officers, to secure the Gentlewomen from all worldly troubles, and to endeavour to dispose of what shall belong unto them with such security and advantage, that may assuredly acquit them from all disturbance and unquietness whatsoever. Which happy conjuncture, sweet concordancy and conformity, may (with the blessing of the most High) who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will, make them beautiful in the eyes of the faithful; and by their gracious motives and incitations of encouragement, to render a great improvement and advancement for the Plantation of piety, and to a further propagation of Christ's Kingdom, and will be no small comfort (in these evil times) unto faithful souls, whose hearts are filled with the joys of the Spirit, and are kept by the power of God, through faith unto salvation, they looking for the blessed hope of the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour jesus Christ, who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people zealous of good works, who receiving the end of their faith, even the salvation of their souls, shall always rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory.
