Writing about meditation in The Christian man's calling George Swinnock says

There is abundant matter for our meditation; as 

1. the Nature or Attributes of God,
2. the States (of Christ - original glory, humiliation, exaltation)
3. and Offices of Christ, (prophet, priest and king)
4. the three-fold state of man, (more often thought of as the fourfold state - primitive integrity, entire depravation, begun recovery and consummate happiness or misery)
5. the four last things, (death, judgement, heaven, hell)
6. the vanity of the creature,
7. the sinfulness of sin,
8. and the love and fullness of the blessed Saviour,
9. the Divine Word
10. and Works;

out of these we may choose sometimes one thing, sometimes another to be the particular subject of our thoughts,
