Monday Puritan

I am someone who has great difficulty with taking time off, relaxing, etc. That is not a good thing. For all of us who have difficulty with the blessing and the command of rest. Here's a Puritan on fun:

"How are we to use recreations?....four special rules:
"Rule 1. We are to make choice of recreations that are of least offense and best report.
"Rule 2. Our recreations must be profitable to ourselves and others, and they must also tend to the glory of God.
"Rule 3. The end of our recreation must be to refresh our bodies and minds.
"Rule 4. Recreation must be moderate and sparing, even as the use of meat and drink and rest."
