of_o know_v the_o time_n in_o reference_n to_o duty_n first_o that_o time_n be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o precious_a treasure_n that_o ever_o god_n bestow_v upon_o any_o man_n or_o any_o people_n 1._o 1._o because_o time_n be_v the_o only_a measure_n out_o of_o which_o god_n pour_v out_o all_o his_o administration_n 2._o time_n it_o be_v the_o only_a space_n in_o which_o man_n be_v to_o do_v all_o

time_n as_o if_o there_o be_v no_o commodity_n that_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n will_v so_o commend_v unto_o man_n next_o to_o his_o truth_n that_o we_o shall_v buy_v so_o eager_o as_o we_o shall_v purchase_v time_n yea_o 5._o it_o be_v so_o precious_a that_o he_o who_o be_v at_o that_o great_a cost_n to_o make_v and_o contrive_v it_o as_o to_o cause_v the_o sun_n every_o day_n to_o run_v

every_o moment_n for_o every_o minute_n of_o it_o that_o be_v my_o first_o conclusion_n that_o time_n be_v a_o precious_a jewel_n in_o god_n account_n and_o aught_o to_o be_v so_o in_o all_o people_n second_o god_n have_v join_v time_n and_o duty_n inseparable_o one_o to_o another_o so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o duty_n 2._o etc._n but_o it_o have_v a_o appoint_a time_n for_o it_o and_o there_o
