thing_n so_o necessary_a so_o slight_a and_o careless_a in_o a_o matter_n of_o life_n and_o death_n and_o upon_o which_o all_o eternity_n do_v depend_v let_v we_o then_o shake_v off_o this_o sloth_n and_o security_n and_o resolve_v to_o make_v that_o the_o great_a business_n of_o time_n which_o be_v our_o great_a concernment_n to_o all_o eternity_n and_o when_o we_o be_v immerse_v in_o the_o care_n and_o business_n of_o this_o life_n and_o trouble_v about_o many_o thing_n let_v this_o thought_n often_o come_v into_o our_o mind_n that_o there_o be_v one_o thing_n needful_a and_o which_o therefore_o deserve_v above_o all_o other_o thing_n to_o be_v regard_v by_o we_o second_o there_o be_v another_o sort_n of_o person_n who_o be_v grosl_o careless_a of_o this_o one_o thing_n necessary_a and_o do_v not_o seem_v to_o mind_v it_o at_o all_o who_o go_v on_o secure_o in_o a_o evil_a course_n as_o if_o either_o they_o have_v no_o soul_n or_o no_o concernment_n for_o they_o i_o may_v say_v to_o these_o as_o the_o master_n of_o the_o ship_n do_v to_o jonah_n when_o he_o be_v fast_o asleep_a in_o the_o storm_n what_o mean_v thou_o o_o sleeper_n arise_v and_o call_v upon_o

possible_a care_n and_o industry_n to_o save_v a_o thing_n so_o precious_a from_o a_o danger_n so_o threaten_v and_o so_o terrible_a we_o be_v apt_a enough_o to_o be_v sensible_a of_o the_o force_n of_o this_o argument_n of_o necessity_n in_o other_o case_n and_o very_o careful_o to_o provide_v against_o the_o press_a necessity_n of_o this_o life_n and_o how_o to_o avoid_v those_o great_a temporal_a evil_n of_o poverty_n and_o disgrace_n of_o pain_n and_o suffering_n but_o the_o great_a necessity_n of_o all_o and_o that_o which_o be_v main_o incumbent_a upon_o we_o be_v to_o provide_v for_o eternity_n to_o secure_v the_o everlasting_a happiness_n and_o to_o prevent_v the_o endless_a and_o insupportable_a misery_n of_o another_o world._n this_o this_o be_v the_o one_o thing_n necessary_a and_o to_o this_o we_o ought_v to_o bend_v and_o apply_v all_o our_o care_n and_o endeavour_n if_o we_o will_v fair_o compare_v the_o necessity_n of_o thing_n and_o wise_o weigh_v the_o concernment_n of_o this_o life_n and_o the_o other_o in_o a_o just_a and_o equal_a balance_n we_o shall_v be_v ashamed_a to_o misplace_v our_o diligence_n and_o industry_n as_o we_o do_v to_o bestow_v our_o best_a thought_n and_o time_n about_o these_o vain_a and_o perish_a thing_n and_o to_o take_v no_o care_n about_o that_o better_a part_n which_o can_v be_v take_v from_o we_o fond_n and_o vain_a man_n that_o we_o be_v who_o be_v so_o solicitous_a how_o we_o shall_v pass_v a_o few_o day_n in_o this_o world_n but_o matter_n not_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o for_o ever_o but_o as_o
