the_o unthankfulness_n both_o of_o husbandman_n themselves_o and_o of_o man_n that_o be_v of_o other_o calling_n husbandman_n themselves_o many_o of_o they_o seem_v not_o to_o acknowledge_v the_o

of_o injustice_n and_o unthankfulness_n who_o slight_v the_o husbandman_n that_o provide_v they_o bread_n let_v not_o the_o fine_a gentleman_n nor_o the_o rich_a citizen_n pride_n himself_o in_o

complaint_n or_o grievance_n of_o husbandry_n 1._o the_o husbandman_n be_v the_o man_n that_o fetch_v his_o profit_n out_o of_o the_o earth_n be_v in_o danger_n of_o be_v earthly_a mind_v observe_v the_o ploughman_n at_o his_o work_n he_o bow_v his_o body_n towards_o the_o ground_n lean_v upon_o his_o blow_n he_o have_v his_o eye_n fix_v on_o the_o furrow_n he_o seem_v to_o love_v the_o very_a smell_n of_o the_o dung_n and_o soil_n wherewith_o his_o land_n be_v make_v more_o fruitful_a to_o walk_v among_o his_o corn_n to_o see_v it_o prosper_v and_o grow_v more_o and_o more_o ready_a for_o the_o harvest_n be_v his_o great_a delight_n to_o have_v seasonable_a weather_n be_v his_o desire_n the_o inning_n of_o his_o corn_n and_o carry_v of_o it_o out_o to_o market_n be_v his_o care_n and_o these_o thing_n be_v so_o much_o in_o his_o thought_n so_o much_o in_o his_o talk_n that_o the_o fear_n be_v lest_o he_o cleave_v too_o much_o to_o the_o earth_n and_o to_o these_o temporal_a thing_n pertain_v to_o our_o present_a life_n not_o mind_v as_o he_o ought_v thing_n heavenly_a and_o eternal_a in_o comparison_n whereof_o all_o earthly_a profit_n be_v contemptible_a it_o be_v a_o hard_a matter_n for_o man_n so_o much_o conversant_a with_o earth_n and_o look_v so_o much_o upon_o it_o to_o raise_v up_o their_o mind_n to_o heaven_n this_o be_v the_o complaint_n to_o prevent_v or_o correct_v this_o too_o much_o mind_v of_o the_o world_n and_o love_n of_o earthly_a thing_n scripture_n and_o reason_n afford_v we_o help_n and_o remedy_n sufficient_a reason_n itself_o may_v teach_v we_o the_o vanity_n and_o uncertainty_n of_o worldly_a youth_n that_o the_o thing_n we_o possess_v be_v subject_a to_o many_o casualty_n and_o may_v be_v take_v from_o we_o and_o that_o we_o ourselves_o be_v also_o liable_a to_o many_o accident_n and_o may_v be_v take_v away_o we_o know_v not_o how_o soon_o from_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o now_o possess_v but_o then_o the_o scripture_n come_v in_o with_o loud_a admonition_n vanity_n of_o vanity_n all_o be_v vanity_n say_v the_o preacher_n eccles_n 1._o all_o flesh_n be_v grass_n and_o the_o goodliness_n thereof_o be_v as_o the_o

to_o all_o this_o the_o example_n of_o the_o foolish_a husbandman_n who_o please_v himself_o in_o his_o full_a barn_n and_o trust_v in_o the_o abundance_n of_o his_o fruit_n but_o be_v sound_o check_v for_o it_o luke_n 12._o 20._o all_o which_o may_v serve_v to_o secure_v our_o husbandman_n from_o danger_n or_o to_o cure_v he_o of_o he_o over_o much_o mind_v and_o set_v his_o affection_n upon_o this_o earth_n and_o may_v teach_v he_o to_o look_v up_o to_o heaven_n to_o lay_v up_o riches_n there_o where_o they_o shall_v be_v reserve_v for_o he_o as_o a_o immortal_a possession_n 2._o but_o it_o be_v urge_v again_o that_o the_o husbandman_n who_o daily_a employment_n be_v about_o this_o earth_n and_o in_o provide_v for_o the_o body_n can_v have_v but_o little_a time_n to_o bestow_v upon_o religion_n and_o the_o care_n of_o his_o soul_n and_o this_o may_v be_v perhaps_o in_o your_o thought_n when_o i_o exhort_v you_o not_o to_o be_v earthly_a mind_v you_o may_v think_v upon_o the_o multiplicity_n of_o your_o business_n you_o must_v plough_v and_o sow_v and_o gather_v in_o and_o thresh_v and_o carry_v out_o to_o market_n and_o beside_o take_v care_n of_o i_o know_v not_o how_o many_o matter_n more_o belong_v to_o your_o course_n of_o life_n and_o you_o may_v wonder_v that_o any_o preacher_n shall_v require_v of_o tiller_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o secular_a man_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v spiritual_a man_n and_o make_v religion_n their_o business_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o you_o must_v learn_v to_o follow_v worldly_a business_n with_o heavenly_a mind_n that_o be_v thus_o consider_v your_o call_v be_v ordain_v by_o god_n and_o that_o when_o you_o do_v the_o work_n of_o your_o call_v right_o you_o do_v then_o do_v god_n service_n take_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n with_o you_o aim_v at_o his_o glory_n as_o that_o great_a end_n of_o your_o life_n behave_v yourself_o humble_o and_o honest_o and_o faithful_o as_o before_o he_o this_o have_v of_o right_a aim_n this_o walk_v upright_o this_o do_v of_o worldly_a business_n in_o obedience_n to_o god_n this_o mind_v of_o god_n presence_n with_o you_o and_o his_o providence_n over_o you_o be_v the_o follow_v of_o earthly_a affair_n in_o a_o spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a manner_n and_o may_v just_o be_v account_v the_o true_a serve_v of_o god_n but_o then_o withal_o no_o man_n must_v so_o far_o engage_v himself_o to_o the_o affair_n of_o this_o world_n but_o he_o must_v have_v some_o time_n of_o freedom_n to_o attend_v upon_o the_o immediate_a service_n of_o god_n in_o holy_a duty_n both_o public_a in_o the_o congregation_n private_a in_o the_o family_n and_o yet_o more_o private_a in_o the_o closet_n or_o any_o secret_a place_n i_o say_v no_o man_n must_v forget_v these_o but_o so_o order_v his_o worldly_a business_n that_o religion_n may_v not_o be_v neglect_v that_o the_o soul_n may_v not_o be_v unprovided_a for_o that_o holy_a duty_n may_v not_o be_v omit_v this_o our_o husbandman_n will_v be_v the_o more_o careful_a of_o i_o mean_v to_o afford_v time_n for_o holy_a duty_n by_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n blessing_n which_o make_v the_o earth_n
