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
