heat_n so_o every_o good_a action_n proceed_v from_o grace_n and_o good_a action_n intend_v grace_n and_o therefore_o be_v still_o act_v and_o judge_v of_o yourselves_o by_o that_o for_o what_o be_v

which_o another_o will_v not_o do_v by_o spend_v more_o time_n in_o prayer_n by_o take_v more_o pain_n with_o your_o heart_n from_o day_n to_o day_n than_o other_o do_v by_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n

which_o make_v a_o man_n excellent_a you_o hear_v man_n complain_v of_o the_o barrenness_n of_o their_o ground_n many_o time_n we_o may_v likewise_o just_o take_v up_o the_o complaint_n against_o the_o barrenness_n of_o the_o life_n of_o man_n how_o goodly_a a_o sight_n be_v it_o when_o a_o man_n look_v into_o the_o husbandry_n to_o see_v the_o vine_n full_a of_o cluster_n to_o see_v the_o

your_o life_n will_v not_o last_v long_o the_o day_n do_v not_o continue_v always_o the_o night_n will_v come_v when_o no_o man_n can_v work_v when_o a_o candle_n be_v put_v out_o you_o may_v kindle_v it_o again_o when_o the_o sun_n be_v set_v it_o rise_v again_o but_o when_o our_o life_n be_v past_a when_o the_o glass_n be_v run_v it_o arise_v no_o more_o it_o be_v turn_v no_o more_o it_o be_v appoint_v to_o all_o man_n once_o to_o die_v if_o you_o may_v die_v twice_o or_o thrice_o it_o be_v another_o case_n but_o now_o it_o be_v your_o wisdom_n therefore_o while_o it_o be_v time_n while_o this_o short_a day_n last_v to_o do_v that_o you_o have_v to_o do_v concern_v your_o salvation_n with_o all_o your_o might_n because_o the_o time_n be_v short_a wisdom_n there_o be_v nothing_o that_o be_v a_o true_a property_n of_o wisdom_n than_o for_o a_o man_n to_o take_v hold_n of_o opportunity_n not_o to_o lose_v the_o day_n nay_o not_o a_o hour_n in_o the_o day_n simile_n for_o time_n be_v most_o precious_a it_o be_v like_a gold_n of_o which_o every_o shred_n be_v worth_a somewhat_o it_o be_v your_o wisdom_n therefore_o to_o be_v oft_o sow_v seed_n to_o the_o spirit_n there_o be_v none_o of_o those_o good_a work_n not_o the_o least_o of_o they_o but_o will_v do_v you_o good_a in_o the_o latter_a end_n for_o alas_o what_o be_v your_o life_n but_o your_o action_n so_o much_o as_o you_o do_v so_o much_o you_o live_v your_o life_n be_v short_a of_o themselves_o why_o do_v you_o make_v they_o short_a by_o do_v nothing_o for_o as_o we_o have_v say_v heretofore_o one_o man_n may_v

his_o labour_n under_o the_o sun_n what_o be_v it_o that_o he_o desire_v but_o pleasure_n comfort_n and_o contentment_n now_o my_o brethren_n this_o consist_v in_o do_v in_o work_v for_o all_o pleasure_n follow_v upon_o operation_n and_o further_o than_o there_o be_v work_v there_o be_v no_o delight_n therefore_o it_o be_v a_o wise_a say_n in_o that_o philosopher_n that_o the_o happiness_n and_o comfort_n that_o a_o man_n have_v in_o this_o life_n consist_v not_o in_o abundance_n of_o wealth_n in_o swim_v in_o delight_n but_o it_o consist_v in_o do_v the_o action_n of_o a_o live_a man_n which_o be_v the_o great_a comfort_n you_o can_v find_v here_o in_o this_o life_n do_v the_o exercise_n and_o action_n of_o holiness_n and_o the_o more_o you_o do_v the_o more_o comfort_n you_o shall_v have_v for_o even_o as_o light_n follow_v the_o flame_n so_o pleasure_n and_o contentment_n follow_v action_n and_o beside_o my_o brethren_n what_o do_v you_o live_v for_o life_n be_v it_o not_o to_o glorify_v god_n god_n you_o profess_v so_o much_o and_o how_o be_v it_o do_v not_o by_o your_o desire_n or_o good_a meaning_n but_o by_o your_o action_n those_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o
