lord_n say_v in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o world_n when_o ruin_n shall_v come_v it_o will_v be_v then_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o day_n of_o noah_n and_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o day_n of_o lot_n man_n shall_v be_v eat_v and_o drink_v and_o marry_v wife_n but_o know_v nothing_o they_o shall_v do_v for_o their_o salvation_n till_o utter_v ruin_n come_v upon_o they_o i_o hope_v now_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o lesson_n be_v clear_a out_o of_o the_o scripture_n but_o if_o you_o please_v to_o go_v a_o little_a further_o yet_o and_o consider_v the_o excellency_n and_o difficulty_n of_o this_o wisdom_n to_o know_v the_o time_n how_o much_o depend_v upon_o it_o and_o how_o much_o be_v require_v to_o it_o you_o will_v be_v full_o satisfy_v that_o a_o great_a commendation_n can_v never_o be_v give_v of_o any_o man_n or_o any_o people_n than_o this_o that_o they_o know_v the_o time_n in_o reference_n to_o their_o duty_n and_o that_o i_o may_v open_v what_o belong_v to_o the_o make_n up_o of_o this_o work_n conclusion_n i_o beseech_v you_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o open_v these_o six_o conclusion_n out_o of_o the_o scripture_n which_o all_o much_o concern_v this_o wisdom_n of_o know_v the_o time_n in_o reference_n to_o duty_n first_o that_o time_n be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o precious_a treasure_n that_o ever_o god_n bestow_v upon_o any_o man_n or_o any_o people_n 1._o 1._o because_o time_n be_v the_o only_a measure_n out_o of_o which_o god_n pour_v out_o all_o his_o administration_n 2._o time_n it_o be_v the_o only_a space_n in_o which_o man_n be_v to_o do_v all_o their_o work_n 21.19_o 3._o it_o be_v so_o precious_a that_o god_n will_v have_v man_n value_v it_o one_o to_o another_o if_o any_o man_n have_v hurt_v another_o he_o must_v not_o only_o pay_v for_o his_o heal_n but_o he_o must_v pay_v for_o the_o loss_n of_o his_o time_n yea_o 4._o god_n call_v upon_o his_o people_n to_o redeem_v it_o at_o any_o rate_n redeem_v the_o time_n 4.5_o redeem_v the_o time_n as_o if_o there_o be_v no_o commodity_n that_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n will_v so_o commend_v unto_o man_n next_o to_o his_o truth_n that_o we_o shall_v buy_v so_o eager_o as_o we_o shall_v purchase_v time_n yea_o 5._o it_o be_v so_o precious_a that_o he_o who_o be_v at_o that_o great_a cost_n to_o make_v and_o contrive_v it_o as_o to_o cause_v the_o sun_n every_o day_n to_o run_v about_o the_o world_n and_o all_o those_o excellent_a creature_n in_o the_o firmament_n to_o make_v it_o their_o work_n for_o the_o continuation_n of_o time_n will_v call_v man_n to_o account_n for_o every_o moment_n for_o every_o minute_n of_o it_o that_o be_v my_o first_o conclusion_n that_o time_n be_v a_o precious_a jewel_n in_o god_n account_n and_o aught_o to_o be_v so_o in_o all_o people_n second_o god_n have_v join_v time_n and_o duty_n inseparable_o one_o to_o another_o so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o duty_n 2._o etc._n but_o it_o have_v a_o appoint_a time_n for_o it_o and_o there_o be_v no_o time_n but_o it_o have_v a_o appoint_a duty_n for_o it_o it_o be_v disputable_a whether_o there_o be_v a_o vacuum_n in_o nature_n or_o no_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a there_o be_v no_o vacuum_n in_o time_n no_o man_n ever_o live_v to_o see_v that_o minute_n of_o time_n nor_o that_o rag_n or_o cranny_n of_o time_n of_o which_o he_o may_v true_o say_v at_o this_o time_n i_o have_v nothing_o at_o all_o to_o do_v but_o the_o lord_n have_v measure_v out_o to_o all_o time_n some_o duty_n or_o other_o this_o our_o saviour_n say_v express_o 6_o matth._n 6.34_o when_o he_o will_v dissuade_v man_n from_o trouble_v themselves_o to_o day_n with_o the_o duty_n that_o belong_v to_o to_o morrow_n he_o use_v this_o argument_n among_o other_o trouble_v not_o yourselves_o for_o to_o

that_o pass_v over_o our_o head_n be_v enough_o to_o fill_v the_o day_n that_o be_v the_o second_o that_o god_n have_v join_v time_n and_o duty_n together_o three_o 3._o there_o be_v some_o great_a duty_n that_o be_v to_o be_v concurrent_a in_o the_o practice_n of_o all_o man_n with_o every_o moment_n of_o their_o life_n my_o meaning_n plain_o be_v this_o the_o great_a business_n of_o glorify_v
