purpose_n for_o which_o we_o shall_v do_v it_o particular_o 1._o to_o consider_v our_o way_n and_o find_v out_o the_o sin_n of_o our_o life_n that_o we_o may_v humble_v our_o soul_n before_o the_o lord_n for_o they_o and_o may_v undo_v they_o again_o by_o true_a repentance_n 2._o to_o sue_v out_o our_o pardon_n and_o make_v our_o peace_n with_o god_n by_o betake_v ourselves_o to_o christ_n jesus_n and_o give_v up_o ourselves_o to_o he_o to_o be_v pardon_v through_o the_o infinite_a merit_n of_o his_o active_a and_o passive_a obedience_n and_o to_o be_v sanctify_v by_o his_o spirit_n 3._o to_o consider_v what_o unruly_a affection_n be_v in_o we_o that_o we_o may_v set_v ourselves_o through_o the_o aid_n of_o grace_n to_o subdue_v and_o mortify_v they_o 4._o to_o consider_v how_o we_o may_v frame_v our_o outward_a conversation_n so_o as_o may_v tend_v to_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n and_o credit_n of_o our_o profession_n 5._o to_o consider_v what_o be_v the_o part_n that_o god_n have_v appoint_v we_o to_o act_v in_o this_o world_n and_o what_o be_v the_o peculiar_a duty_n incumbent_a on_o we_o in_o reference_n to_o our_o particular_a call_n and_o station_n that_o we_o may_v perform_v they_o wise_o faithful_o and_o diligent_o 6._o to_o consider_v that_o this_o life_n be_v our_o seedtime_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v reap_v hereafter_o according_a to_o what_o we_o sow_v here_o and_o therefore_o we_o have_v need_n look_v to_o it_o that_o we_o sow_v good_a seed_n and_o do_v what_o good_a we_o can_v while_o we_o have_v opportunity_n he_o that_o sow_n to_o his_o

be_v not_o only_o to_o take_v care_n to_o clear_v our_o own_o soul_n of_o guilt_n but_o to_o humble_v ourselves_o for_o the_o cry_a sin_n of_o our_o nation_n by_o which_o our_o heavenly_a father_n be_v high_o dishonour_v that_o so_o we_o may_v do_v our_o part_n to_o stand_v in_o the_o gap_n and_o divert_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o so_o much_o of_o the_o purpose_n for_o which_o we_o be_v to_o redeem_v time_n 3._o i_o come_v now_o in_o the_o three_o place_n to_o consider_v from_o what_o we_o must_v redeem_v time_n there_o be_v many_o thing_n from_o which_o we_o must_v redeem_v it_o 1._o from_o the_o ordinary_a business_n and_o affair_n of_o this_o life_n for_o though_o we_o be_v to_o be_v diligent_a in_o our_o particular_a calling_n yet_o we_o must_v not_o suffer_v our_o worldly_a business_n to_o engross_v all_o our_o time_n we_o must_v labour_v so_o to_o contrive_v the_o business_n of_o our_o calling_n that_o they_o may_v not_o entrench_v upon_o that_o time_n which_o we_o be_v to_o employ_v for_o the_o good_a of_o our_o soul_n 2._o from_o the_o lawful_a refreshment_n of_o our_o life_n such_o as_o eat_v drink_v sleep_a recreation_n etc._n etc._n in_o which_o there_o be_v very_o often_o too_o much_o of_o our_o time_n spend_v 3._o from_o conversation_n and_o company_n especial_o such_o company_n among_o who_o we_o can_v expect_v either_o to_o do_v good_a or_o to_o receive_v good_a 4._o we_o must_v be_v especial_o careful_a how_o we_o employ_v our_o solitary_a hour_n and_o when_o we_o be_v alone_o that_o we_o do_v not_o spend_v that_o time_n n_o melancholy_n and_o impertinent_a muse_n and_o roving_n and_o wander_n of_o thought_n but_o employ_v it_o in_o meditation_n on_o thing_n profitable_a and_o useful_a and_o if_o we_o have_v the_o care_n and_o skill_n to_o keep_v our_o mind_n to_o good_a work_n when_o we_o be_v alone_o it_o will_v be_v of_o incredible_a advantage_n to_o we_o both_o for_o the_o improve_n of_o our_o reason_n and_o much_o more_o to_o improve_v we_o in_o real_a piety_n and_o christianity_n and_o so_o much_o of_o the_o three_o particular_a from_o what_o we_o must_v redeem_v time_n 4._o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o shall_v press_v this_o duty_n upon_o we_o 1._o our_o time_n be_v but_o short_a we_o have_v but_o a_o little_a of_o it_o we_o have_v not_o seven_o or_o eight_o hundred_o year_n of_o life_n as_o the_o patriarch_n have_v before_o the_o flood_n man_n life_n be_v now_o ordinary_o very_o short_a few_o live_v to_o threescore_o year_n and_o ten_o and_o very_o few_o to_o four-score_n and_o take_v out_o of_o the_o long_a life_n that_o any_o live_v here_o 1._o the_o folly_n and_o inconsiderateness_n of_o childhood_n and_o youth_n 2._o the_o time_n spend_v in_o eat_v drink_v and_o sleep_v though_o with_o moderation_n 3._o the_o time_n of_o sickness_n and_o indisposition_n of_o health_n 4._o the_o time_n spend_v in_o journey_n and_o travel_n 5._o the_o time_n spend_v in_o recreation_n and_o visit_v of_o friend_n 6._o the_o time_n of_o weakness_n valitudinariness_n unusefulness_n in_o old_a age_n i_o say_v take_v out_o all_o these_o and_o the_o residue_n that_o remain_v for_o our_o business_n of_o great_a moment_n and_o consideration_n we_o shall_v find_v will_v be_v but_o a_o small_a pittance_n or_o portion_n and_o therefore_o have_v so_o little_a time_n we_o have_v not_o need_n waste_v it_o prodigal_o 2._o our_o time_n fly_v away_o very_o swift_o job_n 9.25_o 26._o compare_v it_o to_o three_o very_a swift_a thing_n to_o a_o post_n to_o a_o ship_n on_o the_o sea_n and_o to_o a_o eagle_n fly_v to_o her_o prey_n let_v any_o one_o consider_v how_o soon_o a_o year_n be_v go_v and_o then_o tell_v i_o whether_o time_n do_v not_o fly_v away_o apace_o 3._o a_o great_a deal_n of_o our_o time_n we_o have_v already_o misspend_v let_v we_o reflect_v on_o our_o infancy_n childhood_n and_o youth_n alas_o how_o many_o year_n have_v pass_v over_o our_o head_n ere_o we_o come_v to_o have_v any_o consideration_n for_o what_o end_n we_o come_v into_o the_o world_n or_o what_o work_n we_o have_v here_o to_o do_v nay_o how_o many_o in_o their_o youth_n have_v weave_v those_o curse_a weh_n of_o sin_n which_o must_v be_v afterward_o unweave_v and_o undo_v again_o with_o great_a sorrow_n and_o shame_n nay_o how_o much_o of_o the_o time_n which_o we_o have_v spend_v in_o god_n own_o worship_n may_v be_v reckon_v to_o our_o lose_a time_n god_n command_v we_o to_o use_v the_o world_n as_o if_o we_o use_v it_o not_o but_o we_o be_v apt_a to_o pray_v as_o if_o we_o pray_v not_o and_o to_o hear_v as_o if_o we_o hear_v not_o and_o to_o worship_n god_n in_o such_o a_o cold_a and_o formal_a manner_n as_o if_o we_o mind_v not_o what_o we_o be_v about_o 4._o consider_v what_o a_o damn_a soul_n in_o hell_n will_v give_v for_o a_o little_a time_n to_o recover_v himself_o out_o of_o that_o woeful_a misery_n if_o it_o be_v in_o his_o power_n to_o purchase_v it_o o_o how_o cut_n must_v it_o need_v be_v to_o he_o to_o think_v how_o he_o may_v have_v procure_v everlasting_a joy_n and_o bliss_n to_o himself_o but_o he_o foolish_o neglect_v his_o time_n and_o season_n for_o the_o do_v of_o it_o which_o be_v not_o now_o to_o be_v recover_v if_o god_n by_o a_o extraordinary_a dispensation_n shall_v grant_v to_o a_o damn_a soul_n one_o month_n or_o week_n to_o come_v out_o of_o hell_n upon_o trial_n sure_o such_o a_o person_n will_v better_o improve_v his_o time_n than_o before_o he_o have_v do_v when_o people_n come_v to_o die_v at_o how_o dear_a a_o
