excuse_n be_v that_o they_o want_v time_n they_o have_v not_o time_n if_o by_o not_o have_v time_n man_n mean_v that_o they_o do_v always_o employ_v themselves_o in_o something_o or_o other_o beside_o their_o prayer_n i_o believe_v it_o be_v true_a for_o no_o man_n can_v be_v perfect_o idle_a so_o as_o to_o do_v or_o think_v nothing_o but_o if_o they_o mean_v they_o can_v have_v time_n this_o i_o deny_v i_o think_v there_o be_v no_o man_n so_o occupy_v and_o employ_v who_o can_v get_v some_o time_n more_o or_o less_o and_o i_o confine_v not_o all_o man_n to_o any_o certain_a frequency_n or_o length_n nay_o i_o think_v few_o man_n but_o may_v get_v some_o time_n daily_o without_o hindrance_n or_o let_v to_o their_o other_o just_a affair_n but_o it_o will_v rather_o prove_v a_o help_n it_o be_v manifest_a by_o experience_n that_o there_o be_v few_o man_n life_n in_o which_o there_o be_v not_o thousand_o of_o trifle_a unprofitable_a and_o sinful_a and_o mischievous_a action_n how_o much_o time_n pass_v away_o by_o man_n with_o their_o hand_n in_o their_o pocket_n they_o do_v not_o know_v what_o to_o do_v they_o be_v fain_o to_o cast_v about_o and_o invent_v something_o to_o spend_v their_o time_n in_o or_o they_o be_v prepare_v to_o take_v what_o be_v next_o and_o that_o be_v usual_o none_o of_o the_o best_a how_o many_o hour_n be_v spend_v in_o unprofitable_a sinful_a chat_n and_o talk_v in_o swear_v by_o god_n and_o curse_v other_o and_o yet_o they_o can_v have_v time_n to_o pray_v to_o god_n and_o pray_v for_o themselves_o and_o other_o how_o much_o time_n superfluous_a do_v man_n spend_v in_o play_n game_n and_o exercise_n in_o drink_v and_o turn_v down_o superfluous_a and_o intoxicate_a cup_n and_o yet_o some_o few_o minute_n can_v be_v get_v to_o pray_v neither_o in_o public_a private_a nor_o secret_a for_o public_a prayer_n and_o other_o part_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n read_v and_o explain_v his_o word_n and_o doctrine_n how_o many_o sit_v at_o home_o and_o sleep_n or_o do_v any_o trifle_a action_n or_o choose_v something_o to_o do_v on_o purpose_n on_o that_o time_n which_o they_o may_v as_o well_o or_o better_o do_v at_o another_o or_o wander_v about_o idle_o beside_o on_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v not_o all_o other_o occupation_n at_o least_o the_o most_o unnecessary_a by_o law_n and_o consent_n lay_v aside_o on_o purpose_n that_o man_n may_v have_v time_n they_o have_v it_o then_o for_o private_a and_o secret_a devotion_n as_o well_o as_o for_o public_a and_o yet_o we_o see_v most_o man_n will_v not_o take_v it_o what_o reason_n then_o have_v we_o to_o think_v that_o man_n can_v find_v time_n on_o other_o day_n when_o we_o see_v they_o will_v not_o make_v use_n of_o it_o when_o it_o be_v put_v into_o their_o hand_n nor_o do_v i_o think_v that_o man_n general_o be_v so_o toil_v or_o tire_v or_o dull_a with_o their_o week_n work_n but_o that_o they_o may_v take_v some_o time_n on_o that_o day_n further_o if_o thy_o employment_n shall_v be_v more_o innocent_a useful_a or_o profitable_a and_o shall_v fill_v up_o all_o thy_o time_n which_o i_o do_v not_o think_v but_o that_o some_o day_n at_o least_o there_o be_v leisure_n make_v some_o room_n for_o thy_o prayer_n get_v some_o time_n by_o what_o right_o have_v those_o thing_n all_o thy_o time_n and_o thy_o prayer_n none_o at_o all_o sure_o i_o be_o thy_o prayer_n deserve_v it_o as_o well_o as_o most_o other_o of_o thy_o most_o useful_a affair_n and_o be_v as_o good_a and_o necessary_a even_o to_o thou_o but_o why_o then_o shall_v they_o alone_o be_v exclude_v from_o some_o share_n of_o thy_o time_n and_o all_o other_o thing_n have_v they_o why_o shall_v they_o not_o have_v so_o much_o as_o a_o few_o minute_n in_o a_o day_n for_o some_o sport_n or_o game_n or_o divertisement_n even_o daily_o thou_o will_v make_v time_n in_o thy_o most_o profitable_a and_o useful_a affair_n thou_o will_v begin_v they_o soon_o or_o defer_v they_o long_o or_o end_v they_o late_a or_o dispatch_v they_o quick_a why_o not_o then_o for_o thy_o prayer_n which_o sure_o be_v sometime_o at_o least_o as_o good_a as_o thy_o divertisement_n time_n we_o can_v get_v time_n can_v we_o have_v time_n to_o think_v and_o talk_v of_o our_o neighbour_n good_a quality_n and_o it_o be_v well_o if_o we_o do_v it_o often_o t●_n instance_n in_o to_o praise_v and_o magnify_v the_o worthy_a endowment_n and_o deed_n of_o any_o virtuous_a discreet_a and_o beneficent_a person_n and_o how_o much_o we_o and_o the_o town_n or_o the_o country_n or_o the_o public_a be_v behold_v to_o he_o and_o yet_o we_o can_v have_v time_n to_o acknowledge_v god_n power_n wisdom_n and_o goodness_n of_o which_o our_o life_n and_o all_o the_o universe_n be_v full_a and_o every_o thing_n thou_o or_o other_o be_v or_o do_v be_v in_o he_o and_o by_o he_o time_n have_v we_o not_o time_n to_o thank_v god_n for_o his_o numberless_a and_o incomparable_a past_a favour_n present_a

any_o considerable_a instance_n of_o their_o kindness_n though_o man_n be_v not_o apt_a to_o be_v over_o grateful_a here_o neither_o time_n why_o shall_v we_o have_v time_n to_o enjoy_v and_o make_v

will_v by_o make_v we_o good_a make_v we_o capable_a of_o receive_v and_o then_o most_o free_o give_v we_o all_o other_o good_a thing_n oh_o foolish_a and_o ungrateful_a creature_n all_o this_o excuse_n of_o want_n of_o time_n be_v but_o pretend_v and_o be_v indeed_o a_o sign_n of_o sottish_a ignorance_n of_o our_o own_o good_a and_o of_o the_o badness_n of_o our_o own_o heart_n and_o life_n we_o know_v not_o our_o own_o happiness_n and_o be_v perfect_o loath_a to_o think_v of_o god_n and_o of_o such_o thing_n as_o shall_v be_v in_o our_o prayer_n lest_o we_o shall_v be_v engage_v to_o be_v good_a and_o have_v our_o mind_n and_o affection_n take_v off_o from_o worldly_a thing_n to_o be_v set_v upon_o better_a and_o then_o pretend_v we_o have_v no_o time_n the_o more_o plain_a truth_n be_v we_o will_v have_v no_o time_n and_o be_v glad_a we_o can_v order_v it_o so_o as_o to_o have_v none_o at_o least_o we_o be_v very_o well_o content_a and_o then_o we_o complain_v and_o excuse_v it_o thus_o but_o let_v we_o not_o endeavour_v to_o deceive_v other_o and_o ourselves_o it_o be_v better_a to_o confess_v the_o truth_n that_o we_o have_v no_o mind_n nor_o will_n and_o then_o we_o shall_v be_v somewhat_o near_a mend_v the_o fault_n and_o now_o it_o remain_v only_o that_o all_o person_n be_v earnest_o exhort_v to_o the_o performance_n of_o this_o duty_n so_o
