be_v in_v but_o after_o also_o and_o indeed_o to_o depend_v and_o fear_v continual_o the_o three_o power_n be_v spiritual_a by_o which_o god_n turn_v all_o outward_a blessing_n to_o inward_a

this_o how_o god_n goodness_n strive_v with_o man_n refractoriness_n man_n will_v sit_v down_o at_o this_o world_n god_n bid_v he_o sell_v it_o and_o purchase_v a_o better_a just_o as_o a_o father_n

observe_v the_o manifold_a wile_n of_o satan_n who_o play_v his_o part_n sometime_o in_o draw_v god_n servant_n from_o he_o sometime_o in_o perplex_v they_o in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n stand_v fast_o in_o the_o liberty_n wherewith_o christ_n have_v make_v we_o free_a this_o liberty_n he_o compass_v by_o one_o distinction_n and_o that_o be_v of_o what_o be_v necessary_a and_o what_o be_v additionary_a as_o for_o example_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o all_o christian_n shall_v pray_v twice_o a_o day_n every_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o four_o time_n on_o sunday_n if_o they_o be_v well_o this_o be_v so_o necessary_a and_o essential_a to_o a_o christian_a that_o he_o can_v without_o this_o maintain_v himself_o in_o a_o christian_a state_n beside_o this_o the_o godly_a have_v ever_o add_v some_o hour_n of_o prayer_n as_o at_o nine_o or_o at_o three_o or_o at_o midnight_n or_o as_o they_o think_v fit_a &_o see_v cause_n or_o rather_o as_o god_n spirit_n lead_v they_o but_o these_o prayer_n be_v not_o necessary_a but_o additionary_a now_o it_o so_o happen_v that_o the_o godly_a petitioner_n upon_o some_o emergent_a interruption_n in_o the_o day_n or_o by_o oversleep_v himself_o at_o night_n omit_v his_o additionary_a prayer_n upon_o this_o his_o mind_n begin_v to_o be_v perplex_v and_o trouble_v and_o satan_n who_o know_v the_o exigent_n blow_v the_o fire_n endeavour_v to_o disorder_v the_o christian_n and_o put_v he_o out_o of_o his_o station_n and_o to_o enlarge_v the_o perplexity_n until_o it_o spread_v and_o taint_v his_o other_o duty_n of_o piety_n which_o none_o can_v perform_v so_o well_o in_o trouble_n as_o in_o calmness_n here_o the_o parson_n interpose_v with_o his_o distinction_n and_o show_v the_o perplex_a christian_a that_o this_o prayer_n be_v additionary_a not_o necessary_a take_v in_o not_o command_v the_o omission_n thereof_o upon_o just_a occasion_n ought_v by_o no_o mean_n trouble_v he_o god_n know_v the_o occasion_n as_o well_o as_o he_o and_o he_o be_v as_o a_o gracious_a father_n who_o more_o accept_v a_o common_a course_n of_o devotion_n then_o dislike_v a_o occasional_a interruption_n and_o of_o this_o he_o be_v so_o to_o assure_v himself_o as_o to_o admit_v no_o scruple_n but_o to_o go_v on_o as_o cheerful_o as_o if_o he_o have_v not_o be_v interrupt_v by_o this_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o distinction_n be_v of_o singular_a use_n and_o comfort_n especial_o to_o pious_a mind_n which_o be_v ever_o tender_a and_o delicate_a but_o here_o there_o be_v two_o caution_n to_o be_v add_v first_o that_o this_o interruption_n proceed_v not_o out_o of_o slackness_n or_o coldness_n which_o will_v appear_v if_o the_o pious_a soul_n foresee_v and_o prevent_v such_o interruption_n what_o he_o may_v before_o they_o come_v and_o when_o for_o all_o that_o they_o do_v come_v he_o be_v a_o little_a affect_v therewith_o but_o not_o afflict_v or_o trouled_a if_o he_o resent_v it_o to_o a_o mislike_n but_o not_o a_o grief_n second_o that_o this_o interruption_n proceed_v not_o out_o of_o shame_n as_o for_o example_n a_o godly_a man_n not_o out_o of_o superstition_n but_o of_o reverence_n to_o god_n house_n resolve_v whenever_o he_o enter_v into_o a_o church_n to_o kneel_v down_o and_o pray_v either_o blessing_n god_n that_o he_o will_v be_v please_v to_o dwell_v among_o man_n or_o beseech_v he_o that_o whenever_o he_o repair_v to_o his_o house_n he_o may_v behave_v himself_o so_o as_o befit_v so_o great_a a_o presence_n and_o this_o brief_o but_o it_o happen_v that_o near_o the_o place_n where_o he_o be_v to_o pray_v he_o spy_v some_o scoff_a ruffian_n who_o be_v likely_a to_o deride_v he_o for_o his_o pain_n if_o he_o now_o shall_v either_o for_o fear_n or_o shame_n break_v his_o custom_n he_o shall_v do_v pass_o ill_n so_o much_o the_o rather_o ought_v he_o to_o proceed_v as_o that_o by_o this_o he_o may_v take_v into_o his_o prayer_n humiliation_n also_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o i_o be_o to_o visit_v the_o sick_a in_o haste_n and_o my_o near_a way_n lie_v through_o the_o church_n i_o will_v not_o doubt_v to_o go_v without_o stay_v to_o pray_v there_o but_o only_o as_o i_o pass_v in_o my_o heart_n because_o this_o kind_n of_o prayer_n be_v additionary_a not_o necessary_a and_o the_o other_o duty_n overweigh_v it_o so_o that_o if_o any_o scruple_n arise_v i_o will_v throw_v it_o away_o and_o be_v most_o confident_a that_o god_n be_v not_o displease_v this_o distinction_n may_v run_v through_o all_o christian_a duty_n and_o it_o be_v a_o great_a stay_n and_o settle_v to_o religious_a soul_n chap._n xxxii_o the_o parson_n be_v survey_v the_o country_n parson_n have_v not_o only_o take_v a_o particular_a servey_n of_o the_o fault_n of_o his_o own_o parish_n but_o a_o general_a also_o of_o the_o disease_n of_o the_o time_n that_o so_o when_o his_o occasion_n carry_v he_o abroad_o or_o bring_v stranger_n to_o he_o he_o may_v be_v the_o better_o arm_v to_o encounter_v they_o the_o great_a and_o national_a sin_n of_o this_o land_n he_o esteem_v to_o be_v idleness_n great_a in_o itself_o and_o great_a in_o consequence_n for_o when_o man_n have_v nothing_o to_o do_v than_o they_o fall_v to_o drink_v to_o steal_v to_o whore_n to_o scoff_n to_o revile_v to_o all_o sort_n of_o game_n be_v come_v say_v they_o we_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v let_v we_o go_v to_o the_o tavern_n or_o to_o the_o stew_n or_o what_o not_o wherefore_o the_o parson_n strong_o oppose_v this_o sin_n whersoever_o he_o go_v and_o because_o idleness_n be_v twofold_a the_o one_o in_o have_v no_o call_n the_o other_o in_o walk_v careless_o in_o our_o call_n he_o first_o represent_v to_o every_o body_n the_o necessity_n of_o a_o vocation_n the_o reason_n of_o this_o assertion_n be_v take_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n wherein_o god_n have_v place_v two_o great_a instrument_n reason_n in_o the_o soul_n and_o a_o hand_n in_o the_o body_n as_o engagement_n of_o work_v so_o that_o even_o in_o paradise_n man_n have_v a_o calling_n and_o how_o much_o more_o out_o of_o paradise_n when_o the_o evil_n which_o he_o be_v now_o subject_a unto_o may_v be_v prevent_v or_o divert_v by_o reasonable_a employment_n beside_o every_o gift_n or_o ability_n be_v a_o talon_n to_o be_v account_v for_o and_o to_o be_v improve_v to_o our_o master_n advantage_n yet_o be_v it_o also_o a_o debt_n to_o our_o country_n to_o have_v a_o call_v and_o it_o concern_v the_o commonwealth_n that_o none_o shall_v be_v idle_a but_o all_o busy_v last_o riches_n

better_o employ_v now_o this_o reason_n cross_v not_o our_o saviour_n precept_n of_o sell_v what_o we_o have_v because_o when_o we_o have_v sell_v all_o and_o give_v it_o to_o the_o poor_a we_o must_v
