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 doubt_n and_o satisfy_v the_o conscience_n in_o any_o scruple_n that_o may_v arise_v therefrom_o for_o out_o of_o this_o comparison_n will_v arise_v these_o conclusion_n first_o though_o the_o lord_n 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 allow_v for_o our_o worldly_a occasion_n then_o for_o our_o spiritual_a therefore_o we_o may_v enlarge_v our_o thought_n so_o much_o the_o more_o after_o worldly_a thing_n then_o after_o those_o of_o 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 of_o they_o must_v be_v spiritual_a with_o thought_n and_o action_n derive_v from_o that_o fountain_n guide_v by_o the_o same_o rule_n and_o aim_v at_o the_o same_o end_n and_o therefore_o as_o the_o sabboath_n do_v restrain_v we_o altogether_o from_o these_o carnal_a worldly_a thought_n as_o be_v simple_o evil_a on_o that_o day_n so_o neither_o do_v the_o other_o day_n otherwise_o allow_v they_o then_o as_o they_o proceed_v from_o a_o spiritual_a intent_n to_o glorify_v god_n in_o obedience_n to_o he_o in_o 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 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 17.16.17_o 1._o tim._n 6.8_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 quaere_fw-la 4_o 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 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 ma●●_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

our_o calling_n as_o still_o to_o keep_v ourselves_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o our_o general_a bound_n which_o be_v still_o to_o be_v subject_a to_o government_n and_o so_o only_o unto_o they_o as_o to_o serve_v they_o in_o the_o lord_n not_o encroach_a upon_o the_o call_v of_o the_o magistrate_n nor_o by_o our_o liberty_n advance_v the_o magistrate_n above_o what_o be_v meet_v but_o still_o serve_v one_o another_o in_o love_n and_o all_o study_v to_o serve_v the_o lord_n christ_n whether_o one_o man_n may_v have_v diverse_a calling_n as_o the_o minister_n may_v be_v also_o a_o magistrate_n one_o tradesman_n may_v exercise_v diverse_a civil_a calling_n to_o the_o former_a we_o answer_v general_o that_o where_o calling_n be_v subordinate_a to_o each_o other_o there_o in_o case_n of_o necessity_n one_o may_v supply_v diverse_a calling_n as_o his_o ability_n be_v thereto_o so_o the_o minister_n may_v in_o some_o case_n and_o degree_n execute_v the_o office_n of_o a_o magistrate_n 2._o magistrate_n be_v of_o two_o sort_n 1._o supreme_a and_o sovereign_a as_o the_o king_n and_o 2._o inferior_a and_o subordinate_a as_o such_o as_o be_v appoint_v under_o he_o for_o the_o ease_n of_o his_o burden_n and_o better_o serve_v the_o public_a good_a so_o a_o minister_n may_v be_v a_o magistrate_n though_o he_o may_v not_o encroach_v upon_o the_o supreme_a authority_n i_o say_v he_o may_v not_o usurp_v sovereign_a government_n because_o this_o be_v a_o mark_n of_o antichrist_n 2._o thess_n 2.9_o 10._o this_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o word_n which_o command_v all_o both_o priest_n and_o people_n to_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o high_a power_n rom._n 13.1_o this_o can_v be_v for_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o common_a peace_n which_o be_v by_o unity_n and_o reformation_n of_o all_o abuse_n which_o tend_v to_o the_o disturbance_n thereof_o and_o how_o shall_v the_o fault_n of_o minister_n be_v correct_v but_o by_o the_o supreme_a magistrate_n how_o shall_v their_o wrong_n be_v right_v but_o by_o he_o yet_o i_o hold_v that_o a_o minister_n may_v be_v a_o inferior_a governor_n because_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o the_o magistrate_n to_o bestow_v honour_n and_o authority_n as_o it_o please_v he_o for_o the_o public_a good_a and_o this_o authority_n give_v to_o the_o ministry_n may_v tend_v to_o the_o public_a good_a and_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n as_o hereby_o 1._o their_o person_n may_v be_v better_o accept_v and_o preserve_v from_o contempt_n 2._o their_o calling_n be_v execute_v more_o current_o when_o they_o have_v some_o power_n to_o restrain_v open_a and_o gross_a evil_n and_o compel_v the_o outward_a man_n to_o conformation_n in_o religion_n 3._o their_o constancy_n and_o courage_n herein_o as_o it_o may_v ease_v of_o a_o burden_n so_o it_o may_v confirm_v and_o encourage_v the_o supreme_a magistrate_n in_o the_o love_n and_o maintenance_n of_o the_o truth_n so_o that_o still_o the_o holy_a order_n of_o subjection_n be_v keep_v that_o all_o this_o be_v do_v with_o direction_n from_o the_o supreme_a power_n and_o return_v thereto_o and_o confusion_n be_v avoid_v that_o we_o so_o execute_v these_o several_a calling_n as_o that_o still_o we_o reserve_v a_o distinction_n between_o they_o and_o oppose_v not_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v wise_o to_o be_v subordinate_v which_o we_o may_v do_v 1._o if_o we_o consider_v that_o there_o be_v some_o special_a action_n particular_a to_o each_o calling_n which_o on_o either_o side_n may_v not_o be_v encroach_v upon_o as_o the_o magistrate_n may_v not_o preach_v minister_v the_o sacrament_n &c_n &c_n because_o this_o be_v peculiar_a to_o the_o minister_n so_o the_o minister_n i_o mean_v as_o a_o minister_n may_v not_o prescribe_v law_n execute_v the_o penalty_n of_o they_o determine_v of_o the_o person_n and_o good_n of_o the_o subject_n &c_n &c_n because_o these_o be_v the_o magistrate_n prerogative_n 2._o that_o all_o thing_n be_v do_v with_o direction_n from_o the_o royal_a canon_n &_o aim_v at_o god_n glory_n 3._o so_o be_v it_o in_o the_o reform_a church_n where_o the_o consistory_n do_v as_o well_o meddle_v in_o civil_a as_o ecclesiastical_a occasion_n and_o be_v it_o any_o other_o in_o our_o honourable_a court_n of_o the_o high_a commission_n and_o in_o other_o consistory_n of_o our_o clergy_n as_o for_o the_o other_o that_o one_o man_n may_v exercise_v diverse_a civil_a calling_n as_o this_o be_v apparent_a by_o the_o practice_n of_o our_o land_n where_o some_o merchant_n ever_o use_v other_o trade_n mercer_n abroad_o sell_v thing_n belong_v to_o many_o trade_n so_o i_o see_v not_o but_o that_o it_o may_v be_v warrantable_a by_o the_o word_n which_o so_o enjoin_v we_o to_o be_v content_v with_o the_o

when_o we_o be_v for_o ourselves_o we_o may_v follow_v what_o call_v we_o please_v though_o we_o be_v not_o bind_v thereto_o so_o we_o have_v skill_n therein_o and_o respect_v the_o public_a good_a
