The venerable dead are waiting in my library to entertain me and relieve me from the nonsense of surviving mortals -- Samuel Davies
Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to the small and arrogant oligarchy of those who merely happen to be walking about. All democrats object to men being disqualified by the accident of birth; tradition objects to their being disqualified by the accident of death. -- G.K. Chesterton
Many of the quotes you will find in this section are from books by those who have gone home to be with the Lord.

Concerning the doing of God's Will
[The fourth and final inference of the line "Thy Will be done, in [sic] earth as it is in Heaven"]: That the Law still hath the Authority of a Rule to Believers; because it reveals God's Will, which they must do.
It is worth noting that from here to the end of the book another author completed the book.

What else doth this Name I am import?
It imports both the Perfection and Eternity of God's Being, I am implies he hath not that now which he had not formerly; and that he shall not afterwards [sic] have what he hath not now: And that there is neither Beginning, End, or Succession with God, whose Name is I am.

Of Direction in Prayer (the Lord's Prayer and Scripture generally)
That those who neglect all Prayer, and those that satisfy themselves with a Form of Prayer, which they utter without Knowledge or Affection, do greatly sin against God. And that it is the Duty of all Christians, from a Sense of their own Sins, Wants and Mercies to be often with God in Prayer, guiding themselves in that spiritual Duty, by such inward and outward Helps as his Word and Spirit are able to furnish them with.
