for_o this_o be_v a_o mean_v appoint_v by_o god_n by_o which_o christian_n be_v to_o obtain_v such_o grace_n and_o blessing_n as_o they_o daily_o want_v it_o must_v be_v as_o necessary_a for_o

own_o soul_n of_o those_o help_n which_o be_v necessary_a for_o make_v they_o faithful_a servant_n and_o good_a christian_n q._n how_o can_v they_o perform_v this_o duty_n who_o have_v so_o little_a time_n to_o themselves_o and_o be_v general_o tire_v be_v fit_a for_o sleep_n than_o prayer_n a._n let_v they_o but_o make_v the_o best_a use_n of_o what_o time_n they_o have_v and_o god_n will_v certain_o accept_v it_o as_o he_o do_v the_o widow_n mite_n when_o she_o have_v no_o more_o to_o give_v it_o can_v be_v expect_v they_o shall_v employ_v as_o much_o time_n in_o prayer_n as_o those_o who_o have_v their_o hour_n at_o command_n but_o if_o they_o make_v their_o business_n the_o excuse_n of_o their_o sloth_n and_o upon_o this_o pretext_n neglect_v their_o duty_n to_o god_n when_o if_o they_o be_v more_o careful_a and_o industrious_a they_o may_v find_v time_n for_o perform_v it_o they_o will_v have_v god_n the_o judge_n of_o their_o insincerity_n and_o sloth_n in_o his_o service_n

servant_n who_o make_v this_o their_o excuse_n will_v examine_v themselves_o and_o see_v how_o much_o time_n they_o find_v every_o day_n for_o unnecessary_a sleep_v curious_a gaze_v idle_a talk_v etc._n etc._n they_o may_v soon_o discover_v that_o it_o be_v not_o excess_n of_o business_n but_o want_v of_o goodwill_n be_v the_o general_a occasion_n of_o their_o not_o find_v time_n to_o pray_o and_o that_o a_o little_a more_o resolution_n with_o better_a management_n will_v help_v they_o to_o all_o the_o time_n that_o can_v be_v necessary_a for_o this_o duty_n leave_v therefore_o these_o with_o the_o advice_n of_o be_v more_o industrious_a i_o turn_v to_o such_o who_o be_v real_o so_o straighten_v in_o time_n that_o they_o can_v find_v opportunity_n to_o pray_v and_o to_o these_o i_o
