at_o their_o door_n and_o look_v to_o be_v feed_v with_o the_o food_n of_o angel_n and_o yet_o will_v not_o stir_v hand_n nor_o foot_n to_o labour_v for_o it_o i_o say_v such_o man_n can_v never_o expect_v to_o have_v it_o from_o god_n we_o know_v it_o sufficient_o rhat_o it_o be_v god_n will_n and_o ordinance_n that_o touch_v this_o temporal_a life_n a_o man_n shall_v eat_v his_o bread_n in_o the_o sweat_n of_o his_o brow_n &_o we_o do_v willing_o undergo_v pain_n &_o labour_n for_o it_o but_o here_o be_v all_o our_o fault_n that_o howsoever_o we_o be_v busy_v and_o pain_v for_o temporal_a thing_n belong_v to_o this_o life_n yet_o we_o have_v neither_o heart_n nor_o mind_n to_o take_v any_o pain_n for_o spiritual_a thing_n and_o this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a sin_n of_o this_o

conviction_n and_o their_o judgement_n the_o more_o terrible_a in_o the_o day_n of_o christ_n his_o appear_v if_o they_o have_v not_o be_v much_o more_o painful_a about_o spiritual_a thing_n which_o do_v concern_v eternal_a life_n we_o shall_v hear_v here_o after_o what_o need_v we_o have_v to_o wean_v ourselves_o from_o the_o care_n of_o this_o world_n and_o of_o earthly_a thing_n because_o it_o be_v the_o main_a hindrance_n and_o let_v of_o our_o care_n and_o solicitude_n for_o heavenly_a thing_n and_o therefore_o it_o must_v be_v first_o root_v out_o of_o the_o heart_n before_o the_o heart_n can_v be_v set_v as_o it_o ought_v upon_o spiritual_a thing_n but_o now_o let_v we_o consider_v what_o be_v comprehend_v under_o this_o word_n labour_n and_o what_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n require_v of_o we_o to_o be_v do_v for_o the_o attain_n to_o this_o bread_n of_o life_n christ_n himself_o here_o after_o in_o the_o same_o chapter_n show_v this_o in_o answer_v the_o jews_n question_n when_o they_o ask_v he_o what_o shall_v we_o do_v that_o we_o may_v work_v the_o work_n of_o god_n jesus_n answer_v and_o say_v unto_o they_o this_o be_v the_o work_n of_o god_n that_o you_o believe_v in_o he_o who_o he_o have_v send_v here_o in_o steed_n of_o all_o work_n christ_n place_v but_o one_o and_o that_o be_v the_o work_n of_o believe_v a_o work_n not_o of_o the_o hand_n nor_o of_o the_o body_n but_o a_o work_n of_o the_o heart_n for_o as_o a_o man_n must_v have_v a_o move_a hand_n &_o a_o stir_a body_n in_o the_o business_n that_o belong_v to_o this_o world_n so_o for_o obtay_v of_o spiritual_a blessing_n he_o must_v have_v a_o stir_a and_o a_o believe_a heart_n his_o heart_n must_v work_v by_o faith_n if_o ever_o he_o think_v to_o have_v any_o spiritual_a blessing_n from_o god_n for_o it_o be_v by_o faith_n alone_o that_o we_o draw_v all_o good_a thing_n from_o god_n in_o heaven_n and_o by_o faith_n alone_o it_o be_v that_o we_o render_v to_o god_n any_o thing_n that_o can_v be_v acceptable_a unto_o he_o for_o all_o though_o in_o the_o scripture_n our_o action_n be_v attribute_v to_o love_n yet_o they_o be_v in_o this_o life_n more_o

reason_n why_o all_o the_o do_n and_o suffering_n of_o the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v attribute_v unto_o faith_n as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o 11._o of_o the_o leu._n for_o the_o whole_a operation_n of_o a_o spiritual_a man_n consist_v main_o in_o the_o work_n of_o believe_v without_o which_o we_o shall_v never_o receive_v aught_o from_o god_n that_o be_v able_a to_o save_v our_o soul_n neither_o shall_v we_o be_v able_a to_o do_v so_o much_o as_o to_o send_v up_o one_o sound_a desire_n or_o petition_n unto_o god_n to_o conclude_v in_o a_o word_n there_o be_v no_o ability_n either_o to_o speak_v or_o to_o do_v aught_o acceptablie_o to_o god_n without_o faith_n this_o point_n be_v of_o great_a moment_n &_o we_o be_v to_o labour_v above_o all_o thing_n to_o attain_v unto_o this_o work_n of_o believe_v and_o to_o this_o end_n we_o be_v care_n full_o to_o use_v all_o mean_n by_o which_o it_o please_v god_n to_o work_v faith_n in_o our_o heart_n as_o namely_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n preach_v the_o participation_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n instant_a prayer_n to_o god_n with_o daily_a meditation_n in_o the_o bless_a word_n of_o god_n daily_a

be_v impossible_a that_o ever_o we_o can_v come_v to_o have_v any_o feeling_n or_o sense_n either_o of_o the_o life_n or_o love_n of_o god_n in_o our_o soul_n much_o less_o to_o show_v forth_o any_o evidence_n of_o they_o in_o our_o practice_n to_o the_o eye_n of_o man_n this_o be_v that_o work_n which_o must_v have_v place_n in_o all_o our_o work_n &_o season_v they_o all_o before_o god_n therefore_o be_v we_o command_v that_o whatsoever_o we_o do_v whether_o we_o eat_v or_o whether_o we_o drink_v that_o we_o do_v all_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v that_o we_o do_v all_o in_o faith_n for_o nothing_o can_v be_v do_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n but_o it_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v do_v in_o faith_n this_o be_v then_o that_o which_o christ_n mean_v when_o he_o will_n we_o to_o labour_n now_o let_v we_o go_v forward_o here_o it_o follow_v that_o we_o shall_v next_o speak_v of_o that_o for_o which_o we_o shall_v labour_v but_o before_o we_o come_v unto_o it_o we_o will_v speak_v first_o of_o the_o preparition_n which_o christ_n require_v in_o we_o for_o the_o fit_v we_o to_o this_o labour_n which_o stand_v in_o the_o remove_n of_o the_o let_n &_o impediment_n that_o hinder_v we_o from_o labour_v for_o that_o meat_n which_o endure_v unto_o everlasting_a life_n and_o this_o be_v set_v down_o in_o these_o word_n labour_v not_o for_o the_o meat_n which_o perish_v here_o we_o see_v that_o when_o christ_n will_v we_o to_o labour_v for_o heavenly_a thing_n he_o first_o restrain_v we_o from_o the_o labour_n for_o earthly_a thing_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o that_o if_o the_o love_n and_o care_n of_o earthly_a thing_n be_v not_o root_v out_o of_o our_o mind_n the_o love_n and_o care_n of_o heavenly_a thing_n can_v take_v no_o place_n in_o they_o this_o be_v manifest_a by_o that_o speech_n of_o john_n his_o 1._o epist_n 2._o cap._n 15._o vers_fw-la love_v not_o the_o world_n nor_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n if_o any_o man_n love_v the_o world_n the_o love_n of_o the_o father_n be_v not_o in_o he_o it_o be_v a_o most_o certain_a truth_n that_o man_n who_o heart_n &_o affection_n be_v set_v upon_o thing_n belong_v to_o his_o body_n must_v be_v a_o senseless_a man_n concern_v the_o welfare_n of_o his_o soul_n it_o be_v expedient_a therefore_o and_o also_o necessary_a that_o the_o care_n and_o solicitude_n of_o earthly_a thing_n be_v moderate_v and_o bear_v down_o in_o our_o mind_n if_o ever_o we_o will_v embrace_v this_o ●abour_n command_v by_o christ_n for_o spiritual_a thing_n for_o no_o man_n can_v serve_v ●wo_fw-la master_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o serve_v god_n and_o the_o world_n both_o and_o it_o be_v for_o this_o cause_n that_o christ_n will_n his_o

bring_v this_o for_o one_o to_o wit_n that_o it_o be_v the_o disposition_n and_o custom_n of_o the_o heathen_a and_o man_n without_o god_n to_o seek_v after_o thing_n concern_v this_o life_n namely_o what_o they_o shall_v eat_v and_o what_o they_o shall_v drink_v and_o what_o they_o shall_v put_v on_o and_o therefore_o conclude_v that_o they_o that_o know_v god_n and_o profess_v god_n to_o be_v their_o father_n shall_v not_o set_v their_o heart_n upon_o these_o temporal_a thing_n for_o it_o

be_v a_o wretched_a and_o a_o miserable_a thing_n to_o see_v a_o christian_a man_n heart_n dispose_v no_o better_o than_o the_o heart_n of_o a_o profane_a heathen_a &_o that_o his_o labour_n &_o

they_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o they_o can_v esteem_v so_o much_o of_o earthly_a or_o transitory_a pleasure_n but_o that_o their_o heart_n will_v be_v ravish_v towards_o heaven_n and_o all_o

which_o we_o shall_v labour_v but_o a_o forcible_a argument_n to_o move_v we_o to_o labour_v for_o it_o and_o to_o dissuade_v we_o from_o labour_v for_o the_o other_o this_o argument_n be_v take_v

the_o first_o it_o can_v be_v but_o a_o sore_a vexation_n to_o a_o man_n heart_n when_o god_n give_v he_o eye_n to_o see_v it_o that_o of_o all_o he_o labour_v for_o under_o the_o sun_n during_o all_o
