our_o call_v rather_o than_o to_o enrich_v ourselves_o and_o so_o aim_v at_o a_o spiritual_a end_n even_o the_o further_a of_o we_o to_o a_o better_a life_n the_o sum_n of_o all_o be_v 1._o our_o civil_a calling_n one_o the_o lord_n day_n must_v whole_o cease_v but_o upon_o the_o former_a occasion_n 2._o on_o the_o week_n day_n they_o must_v be_v follow_v not_o with_o worldly_a but_o with_o heavenly_a mind_n they_o must_v be_v begin_v with_o prayer_n both_o private_a and_o if_o it_o may_v be_v with_o the_o family_n they_o must_v be_v continue_v with_o spiritual_a meditation_n tend_v to_o wean_v we_o from_o the_o love_n of_o they_o by_o experience_n of_o the_o manifold_a distraction_n the_o baseness_n and_o corruption_n incident_a thereto_o and_o so_o provoke_v to_o raise_v up_o the_o mind_n to_o heavenly_a object_n and_o they_o must_v be_v end_v with_o contentment_n and_o thankfulness_n with_o prayer_n and_o humble_o submit_v to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o wait_v by_o faith_n his_o glorious_a blessing_n thus_o if_o we_o do_v our_o thought_n though_o conversant_a with_o the_o world_n yet_o shall_v have_v sweet_a commerce_n with_o heaven_n our_o time_n though_o more_o day_n spend_v in_o our_o civil_a calling_n yet_o now_o thus_o employ_v shall_v sanctify_v they_o unto_o we_o and_o sanctify_v we_o more_o and_o more_o by_o they_o and_o so_o make_v every_o day_n a_o spiritual_a sabboath_n thus_o we_o shall_v walk_v with_o god_n while_o we_o have_v deal_v in_o the_o world_n &_o have_v our_o conversation_n in_o heaven_n while_o we_o be_v thus_o stranger_n on_o the_o earth_n our_o thought_n though_o employ_v upon_o the_o world_n yet_o shall_v not_o rest_v thereon_o but_o retire_v again_o to_o their_o true_a centre_n of_o heaven_n and_o our_o way_n though_o travail_v in_o the_o world_n yet_o shall_v still_o be_v aim_v and_o hasten_v to_o our_o country_n which_o be_v above_o so_o that_o though_o we_o live_v in_o the_o flesh_n we_o shall_v not_o live_v after_o the_o flesh_n and_o though_o we_o may_v take_v care_n for_o the_o flesh_n yet_o we_o shall_v not_o care_v to_o satisfy_v the_o same_o nor_o use_v our_o liberty_n as_o occasion_v thereto_o in_o a_o word_n we_o shall_v hereby_o so_o use_v the_o world_n as_o that_o we_o may_v not_o love_v it_o we_o shall_v so_o desire_v to_o live_v and_o seek_v mean_n for_o the_o maintenance_n thereof_o as_o that_o still_o we_o shall_v be_v ready_a to_o die_v and_o to_o leave_v all_o for_o christ._n and_o this_o may_v serve_v for_o answer_v to_o the_o second_o question_n hence_o arise_v a_o three_o scruple_n whether_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o desire_v riches_n and_o abundance_n to_o which_o we_o answer_v 1._o by_o a_o distinction_n of_o riches_n which_o may_v be_v consider_v 1_o as_o they_o be_v necessary_a and_o sufficient_a and_o so_o a_o small_a thing_n may_v be_v count_v riches_n as_o content_v nature_n and_o be_v sufficient_a for_o us._n 2._o they_o may_v be_v consider_v as_o they_o be_v in_o the_o estimation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o in_o their_o own_o nature_n and_o so_o abundance_n be_v to_o be_v deem_v riches_n &_o so_o they_o be_v unnecessary_a a_o 2._o difference_n now_o to_o be_v consider_v be_v of_o the_o person_n which_o may_v desire_v they_o which_o be_v of_o two_o sort_n first_o public_a such_o who_o calling_n can_v be_v well_o execute_v without_o abundance_n as_o that_o of_o the_o magistrate_n and_o such_o other_o public_a calling_n second_o some_o person_n be_v private_a and_o these_o also_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o charge_n and_o such_o like_a occasion_n may_v lawful_o desire_v more_o or_o less_o a_o 3._o difference_n be_v in_o respect_n of_o our_o desire_n which_o be_v either_o absolute_a such_o as_o require_v simple_o the_o performance_n of_o what_o we_o desire_v such_o as_o be_v all_o desire_n for_o spiritual_a grace_n which_o for_o the_o grace_n simple_o must_v be_v absolute_a though_o for_o the_o measure_n thereof_o they_o may_v be_v conditional_a 2._o our_o desire_n be_v conditional_a with_o subjection_n to_o god_n will_v as_o may_v make_v most_o for_o his_o glory_n and_o our_o good_a and_o so_o ought_v all_o our_o desire_n be_v for_o earthly_a thing_n because_o that_o god_n have_v so_o only_o promise_v they_o as_o they_o shall_v be_v for_o our_o good_a and_o so_o must_v we_o only_o desire_v they_o out_o of_o these_o distinction_n arise_v these_o conclusion_n 1_o first_o we_o may_v general_o desire_v riches_n as_o they_o be_v in_o the_o first_o sense_n necessary_a and_o sufficient_a not_o as_o they_o be_v less_o necessary_a &_o abundant_a genes_n 28._o deuter._n 17._o 16._o 17._o 1_o tim._n 6._o 8._o 2_o second_o we_o may_v desire_v what_o may_v aswell_o fit_v our_o calling_n as_o person_n though_o this_o may_v be_v satisfy_v with_o less_o yet_o the_o calling_n may_v desire_v more_o and_o so_o such_o calling_n as_o require_v state_n and_o majesty_n may_v require_v abundance_n yet_o so_o as_o that_o 3_o all_z our_o desire_n for_o these_o thing_n must_v be_v conditional_a submit_v to_o god_n pleasure_n both_o for_o the_o thing_n as_o also_o for_o the_o mean_n to_o obtain_v the_o same_o and_o so_o for_o the_o measure_n and_o continuance_n thereof_o unto_o we_o and_o so_o not_o enlarge_v by_o our_o own_o covetous_a mind_n but_o confine_v to_o the_o judgement_n and_o example_n of_o the_o most_o sober_a and_o frugal_a person_n and_o therefore_o 4_o all_o our_o desire_n for_o these_o thing_n must_v be_v accompany_v with_o prayer_n unto_o god_n both_o for_o the_o thing_n we_o desire_v as_o also_o for_o the_o measure_n and_o blessing_n thereon_o thus_o may_v we_o lawful_o desire_v riches_n a_o four_o question_n arise_v hereupon_o whether_o we_o may_v use_v such_o mean_n for_o the_o gather_n of_o riches_n as_o man_n law_n do_v tolerate_v quaere_fw-la and_o come_v not_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o the_o penalty_n thereof_o as_o usury_n monopoly_n letter_n of_o mart_n trade_v with_o infidel_n and_o idolater_n tenter_v and_o burnish_v our_o ware_n by_o press_v slike_a and_o keep_v in_o and_o store_v our_o commodity_n change_v of_o our_o calling_n etc._n etc._n to_o which_o we_o answer_v first_o by_o some_o general_a rule_n to_o all_o 1._o that_o whatsoever_o be_v not_o against_o the_o law_n of_o equity_n and_o charity_n without_o intent_n to_o deceive_v as_o we_o will_v be_v do_v unto_o that_o may_v lawful_o be_v do_v herein_o that_o wherein_o the_o law_n of_o man_n be_v subordinate_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n we_o may_v safe_o venture_v that_o the_o law_n of_o man_n may_v dispense_v with_o some_o thing_n which_o yet_o it_o allow_v not_o simple_o but_o so_o only_o tolerate_v as_o to_o prevent_v a_o worse_a mischief_n so_o confine_n in_o the_o toleration_n as_o indeed_o in_o a_o manner_n imply_v the_o impossiblitie_n of_o what_o it_o tolerate_v or_o condemn_v the_o same_o of_o this_o nature_n be_v usury_n which_o though_o it_o be_v tolerate_v by_o man_n law_n yet_o be_v restrain_v within_o such_o straight_a limit_n as_o if_o the_o law_n be_v straight_o execute_v it_o may_v easy_o restrain_v what_o it_o seem_v to_o tolerate_v my_o purpose_n be_v not_o to_o enter_v into_o the_o mystery_n and_o sleight_n of_o this_o dangerous_a trade_n i_o leave_v this_o to_o that_o worthy_a treasure_n of_o master_n doctor_n fenton_n who_o have_v very_o profitable_o wade_v herein_o only_o my_o conclusion_n be_v that_o though_o covetousness_n be_v usual_o the_o ground_n and_o broker_n hereto_o yet_o there_o may_v be_v some_o use_n thereof_o upon_o some_o necessary_a occasion_n &_o extremity_n in_o these_o barren_a time_n wherein_o so_o few_o will_v lend_v free_o and_o few_o make_v conscience_n to_o repay_v what_o they_o borrow_v as_o may_v tolerate_v the_o same_o and_o that_o rather_o for_o the_o borrower_n sake_n than_o the_o lender_n so_o that_o oppression_n be_v hereby_o avoid_v and_o the_o rule_n of_o equity_n be_v observe_v which_o because_o each_o man_n upright_a conscience_n must_v be_v the_o judge_n therefore_o i_o leave_v the_o discuss_n and_o order_v thereof_o to_o that_o sovereign_a arbiterment_n touch_v monopoly_n &_o engross_a of_o commodity_n though_o they_o be_v somewhat_o of_o diverse_a nature_n and_o be_v abuse_v may_v tend_v to_o the_o oppression_n of_o the_o subject_n enrich_v of_o private_a man_n yet_o see_v the_o
