of_o our_o right_n in_o that_o happiness_n and_o withal_o may_v provoke_v we_o to_o sigh_v and_o hasten_v to_o that_o perfect_a estate_n by_o how_o much_o our_o experience_n of_o fail_v in_o these_o thing_n on_o this_o day_n argue_v our_o shortness_n and_o abertation_n from_o that_o perfection_n and_o hereupon_o follow_v another_o use_n and_o intent_n of_o the_o sabboath_n namely_o that_o by_o

on_o the_o other_o day_n to_o worldly_a occasion_n yet_o by_o the_o former_a employment_n of_o they_o on_o the_o sabboath_n they_o may_v now_o be_v so_o bridle_v and_o season_v with_o holy_a ground_n and_o spiritual_a end_n as_o that_o we_o may_v so_o use_v the_o world_n as_o if_o we_o use_v it_o not_o our_o heart_n may_v not_o be_v set_v upon_o the_o same_o though_o we_o must_v converse_v

for_o the_o blessing_n of_o the_o same_o and_o rely_v again_o upon_o god_n in_o wait_v on_o his_o providence_n and_o meditate_v of_o the_o heavenly_a riches_n make_v still_o these_o worldly_a

and_o patience_n in_o that_o our_o labour_n be_v nothing_o without_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n to_o try_v our_o sincerity_n that_o we_o can_v spare_v time_n for_o heavenly_a occasion_n and_o

and_o end_n of_o our_o civil_a calling_n which_o be_v not_o so_o much_o for_o present_a maintenance_n of_o life_n or_o to_o thrive_v thereby_o as_o to_o humble_v we_o under_o the_o mighty_a hand_n of_o god_n in_o that_o we_o have_v need_n of_o such_o mean_n which_o have_v not_o sin_n enter_v into_o the_o world_n we_o shall_v not_o have_v have_v and_o so_o daily_o to_o renew_v repentance_n and_o thereby_o to_o provoke_v to_o love_n and_o compassion_n towards_o other_o that_o so_o we_o may_v lay_v up_o a_o good_a foundation_n against_o the_o life_n to_o come_v the_o wise_a consideration_n and_o compare_v of_o both_o these_o together_o both_o the_o right_a use_n and_o end_n of_o the_o sabboath_n and_o our_o civil_a calling_n will_v happy_o further_o the_o resolution_n of_o these_o

have_v allow_v we_o six_o day_n for_o our_o civil_a calling_n and_o but_o one_o for_o the_o general_a yet_o from_o this_o proportion_n it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o though_o more_o time_n be_v

a_o better_a life_n see_v as_o our_o civil_a calling_n be_v ordain_v not_o so_o much_o for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o this_o present_a as_o that_o life_n which_o be_v to_o come_v so_o our_o manage_n
