else_o where_o do_v reason_n against_o god_n that_o his_o service_n be_v likewise_o vanity_n because_o it_o be_v unprofitable_a you_o have_v say_v it_o be_v in_o vain_a that_o we_o have_v serve_v

what_o profit_n these_o earthly_a thing_n have_v bring_v they_o what_o profit_n say_v he_o have_v you_o then_o in_o those_o thing_n 6.21_o whereof_o you_o be_v now_o ashamed_a and_o solomon_n bring_v

be_v not_o ashamed_a so_o foolish_o to_o bestow_v their_o unprofitable_a pain_n about_o these_o transitory_a earthly_a thing_n be_v because_o god_n as_o yet_o have_v not_o open_v their_o eye_n to_o

observe_v to_o give_v you_o a_o instance_n or_o two_o to_o this_o purpose_n the_o thief_n when_o he_o go_v about_o to_o steal_v he_o hunt_v after_o profit_n and_o think_v it_o better_a to_o reach_v out_o a_o little_a then_o to_o live_v in_o want_n because_o the_o god_n of_o this_o world_n have_v blind_v his_o eye_n but_o when_o his_o punishment_n come_v than_o he_o see_v his_o own_o error_n and_o then_o he_o be_v ashamed_a of_o it_o and_o then_o he_o find_v by_o experience_n that_o his_o steal_n have_v bring_v no_o profit_n to_o he_o but_o incomparable_a loss_n the_o licentious_a worldling_n likewise_o when_o he_o hunt_v after_o pleasure_n he_o seek_v after_o that_o which_o seem_v good_a unto_o he_o because_o the_o god_n of_o this_o world_n have_v blind_v his_o eye_n but_o when_o his_o punishment_n come_v than_o he_o change_v his_o mind_n and_o then_o he_o see_v his_o folly_n 5.7.8_o and_o then_o he_o be_v ashamed_a of_o it_o that_o he_o have_v so_o weary_v himself_o in_o the_o way_n of_o wickedness_n and_o yet_o have_v get_v no_o profit_n by_o it_o as_o be_v notable_o declare_v in_o the_o book_n of_o wisdom_n and_o even_o so_o be_v it_o likewise_o in_o all_o other_o sin_n though_o the_o sinner_n do_v always_o propound_v unto_o himself_o at_o the_o least_o in_o his_o conceit_n a_o kind_a of_o profit_n in_o they_o whereunto_o they_o seem_v to_o answer_v with_o appear_v show_v of_o goodness_n yet_o he_o still_o find_v in_o the_o end_n when_o
he_o have_v make_v his_o trial_n of_o they_o that_o they_o be_v indeed_o no_o better_o but_o as_o the_o apostle_n true_o call_v they_o unprofitable_a work_n of_o darkness_n 5.11_o and_o therefore_o such_o as_o of_o right_n we_o ought_v to_o be_v even_o ashamed_a of_o but_o here_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n that_o we_o measure_v not_o our_o profit_n by_o worldly_a gain_n and_o commodity_n for_o that_o oftentimes_o be_v loss_n as_o our_o saviour_n christ_n teach_v we_o in_o the_o gospel_n though_o a_o man_n shall_v gain_v the_o whole_a world_n yet_o if_o he_o lose_v his_o own_o soul_n that_o

16.26_o if_o thou_o lose_v thy_o own_o soul_n therefore_o we_o must_v measure_v our_o profit_n not_o by_o gain_n but_o by_o godliness_n for_o that_o be_v the_o great_a gain_n and_o that_o as_o saint_n paul_n teach_v we_o be_v profitable_a to_o all_o thing_n 6.4.8_o have_v promise_n both_o of_o this_o life_n and_o of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v that_o which_o a_o man_n gain_v with_o godliness_n that_o be_v great_a gain_n and_o great_a profit_n though_o it_o be_v but_o a_o little_a but_o that_o which_o he_o gain_v without_o godliness_n that_o be_v vanity_n and_o disprofit_v though_o it_o be_v
