it_o and_o first_o we_o will_v prove_v the_o same_o second_o we_o will_v show_v the_o ground_n and_o reason_n three_o apply_v the_o same_o first_o for_o the_o proof_n of_o it_o eccles_n 3.2_o there_o

thou_o oh_o land_n when_o thy_o king_n be_v the_o son_n of_o noble_n and_o thy_o prince_n do_v eat_v for_o strength_n and_o not_o for_o drunkenness_n thus_o we_o see_v what_o a_o great_a curse_n it_o be_v to_o any_o land_n to_o have_v prince_n eat_v and_o drink_v not_o in_o season_n and_o in_o prov._n 25._o the_o text_n there_o say_v that_o a_o word_n speak_v in_o due_a season_n be_v like_a apple_n of_o gold_n with_o picture_n of_o silver_n so_o there_o be_v a_o season_n both_o for_o word_n and_o speech_n as_o well_o as_o for_o action_n and_o deed_n and_o word_n in_o their_o best_a season_n be_v worth_a pearl_n and_o ruby_n so_o that_o the_o proof_n be_v plain_a that_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n must_v have_v their_o opportunity_n for_o the_o performance_n of_o duty_n and_o a_o

difficulty_n that_o hence_o arise_v be_v how_o a_o man_n may_v discern_v the_o season_n of_o a_o service_n and_o duty_n that_o be_v to_o be_v perform_v by_o we_o for_o here_o be_v the_o main_a weight_n of_o the_o point_n answ_n first_o in_o the_o general_a second_o in_o particular_a first_o when_o all_o the_o circumstance_n and_o occasion_n do_v concur_v for_o a_o duty_n that_o be_v the_o season_n and_o the_o time_n for_o the_o duty_n as_o instance_n thus_o it_o be_v the_o season_n for_o a_o man_n to_o walk_v in_o the_o day_n time_n in_o the_o light_n and_o not_o in_o the_o the_o darkness_n it_o be_v true_a it_o be_v time_n enough_o in_o the_o night_n to_o walk_v in_o but_o it_o be_v not_o the_o season_n it_o do_v not_o fit_a the_o season_n so_o well_o as_o in_o the_o day_n

thus_o one_o be_v helpful_a to_o the_o other_o so_o shall_v we_o do_v with_o duty_n so_o to_o forecast_v it_o and_o so_o to_o perform_v it_o that_o one_o duty_n may_v further_o another_o and_o not_o hinder_v so_o that_o this_o be_v the_o season_n when_o one_o duty_n make_v way_n for_o another_o in_o the_o kind_n and_o hence_o follow_v several_a passage_n as_o ground_n of_o application_n first_o it_o be_v hence_o clear_a that_o a_o man_n shall_v so_o perform_v duty_n to_o god_n that_o the_o one_o may_v put_v
forward_o another_o to_o hel●…_n another_o on_o the_o second_o ru●…_n hence_o be_v also_o clear_a that_o 〈◊〉_d man_n must_v so_o forecast_v duty_n that_o the_o particular_a may_v no●…_n cross_v the_o

in_o his_o general_a call_n he_o must_v not_o take_v up_o time_n in_o his_o own_o business_n as_o thereby_o to_o deprive_v himself_o of_o time_n and_o strength_n for_o duty_n of_o god_n worship_n three_o a_o man_n may_v hence_o learn_v that_o he_o ought_v not_o to_o spend_v his_o strength_n in_o one_o duty_n as_o to_o make_v he_o unfit_a for_o another_o for_o that_o be_v not_o in_o season_n then_o we_o miss_v of_o the_o season_n though_o he_o allow_v time_n for_o the_o duty_n if_o yet_o he_o spend_v his_o strength_n in_o one_o as_o to_o be_v unfit_a for_o another_o this_o be_v unseasonable_a now_o for_o duty_n occasional_o and_o we_o may_v observe_v two_o rule_n for_o the_o clear_n of_o the_o point_n first_o if_o they_o be_v such_o occasion_n that_o may_v be_v omit_v as_o likewise_o they_o will_v hinder_v another_o a_o man_n may_v pass_v it_o by_o but_o if_o a_o duty_n that_o come_v in_o a_o man_n way_n that_o require_v present_a supply_n and_o that_o the_o duty_n in_o a_o man_n common_a course_n may_v be_v gain_v again_o and_o if_o the_o other_o be_v omit_v that_o can_v never_o be_v recall_v again_o or_o recover_v now_o this_o be_v a_o season_n for_o a_o occasional_o duty_n as_o thus_o a_o man_n to_o pray_v in_o his_o family_n now_o if_o a_o necessary_a occasion_n come_v that_o can_v be_v do_v afterward_o a_o man_n must_v omit_v prayer_n for_o the_o while_n for_o that_o may_v afterward_o be_v gain_v but_o the_o other_o it_o can_v be_v recover_v again_o second_o if_o the_o case_n be_v so_o that_o one_o duty_n must_v be_v lose_v a_o man_n can_v regain_v both_o of_o they_o what_o then_o must_v we_o do_v both_o can_v be_v omit_v which_o then_o must_v be_v take_v up_o and_o perform_v to_o this_o several_a rule_n may_v be_v add_v but_o take_v this_o look_v what_o duty_n be_v the_o most_o excellent_a and_o necessary_a take_v up_o that_o duty_n and_o let_v the_o other_o pass_v if_o a_o duty_n that_o be_v more_o excellent_a than_o another_o take_v up_o that_o and_o let_v the_o other_o give_v place_n to_o it_o as_o for_o example_n god_n will_v have_v mercy_n and_o not_o sacrifice_n and_o he_o delight_v in_o mercy_n more_o than_o sacrifice_n if_o a_o man_n have_v a_o house_n on_o fire_n and_o another_o have_v his_o duty_n to_o perform_v before_o he_o can_v help_v the_o other_o why_o god_n require_v mercy_n he_o will_v have_v mercy_n rather_o than_o sacrifice_v and_o therefore_o i_o must_v leave_v the_o duty_n and_o help_v he_o because_o god_n require_v mercy_n as_o a_o duty_n that_o be_v high_a in_o place_n and_o of_o more_o worth_n and_o excellency_n other_o duty_n must_v give_v place_n and_o such_o duty_n must_v take_v the_o place_n that_o be_v the_o season_n for_o the_o inferior_a to_o give_v place_n to_o the_o great_a quest_n how_o can_v a_o man_n know_v the_o pre-eminence_n of_o any_o duty_n that_o which_o concern_v first_o god_n glory_v most_o that_o service_n be_v to_o be_v perform_v before_o the_o other_o that_o concern_v a_o man_n self_n the_o good_a of_o man_n give_v place_n to_o god_n glory_n sometime_o work_v of_o mercy_n be_v most_o to_o god_n glory_n and_o all_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v to_o godsglory_n second_o in_o those_o duty_n that_o concern_v man_n i_o must_v take_v notice_n of_o the_o thing_n themselves_o and_o of_o my_o relation_n to_o they_o as_o i_o must_v look_v to_o my_o own_o occasion_n before_o other_o man_n in_o the_o same_o rank_n in_o thing_n of_o equality_n as_o my_o good_n before_o he_o my_o body_n before_o he_o but_o not_o my_o body_n before_o his_o soul_n only_o i_o say_v compare_v equal_a thing_n together_o concern_v other_o man_n if_o they_o be_v both_o equal_a to_o i_o let_v the_o chief_a thing_n take_v place_n as_o life_n before_o good_n why_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v so_o careful_a for_o his_o season_n reas_n first_o because_o this_o add_v beauty_n to_o all_o occasion_n and_o the_o work_n come_v off_o with_o much_o content_n seasonable_o sweet_o

hot_a and_o not_o to_o delay_v duty_n to_o a_o crowd_n then_o be_v the_o season_n so_o in_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n when_o man_n delay_v until_o the_o last_o hour_n and_o the_o dim_a eye_n and_o

like_a to_o have_v they_o again_o these_o suit_n not_o with_o occasion_n and_o fit_v not_o the_o season_n but_o will_v add_v more_o wound_n and_o grief_n to_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n whereas_o if_o
