carnal_a man_n for_o man_n may_v say_v they_o seek_v not_o treasure_n but_o only_a thing_n necessary_a thus_o may_v the_o covetous_a plead_v and_o therefore_o christ_n come_v home_o to_o they_o and_o say_v be_v not_o careful_a with_o any_o immoderate_a or_o inordinate_a care_n for_o so_o much_o as_o meat_n drink_n and_o clothing_n etc._n etc._n so_o much_o shall_v suffice_v for_o the_o scope_n and_o coherence_n now_o let_v we_o consider_v the_o word_n the_o sense_n and_o the_o use_n of_o they_o therefore_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o in_o that_o christ_n begin_v his_o commandment_n on_o this_o manner_n therefore_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o i_o that_o be_o your_o master_n on_o who_o you_o depend_v for_o all_o heavenly_a instruction_n he_o do_v prepare_v they_o to_o attention_n and_o to_o a_o diligent_a mark_v of_o this_o commandment_n and_o instruction_n and_o he_o use_v this_o form_n of_o speech_n to_o declare_v that_o the_o commandment_n follow_v be_v a_o weighty_a thing_n and_o to_o be_v regard_v and_o obey_v and_o which_o if_o it_o be_v keep_v covetousness_n can_v seize_v on_o we_o and_o this_o be_v the_o substance_n and_o pith_n of_o all_o this_o doctrine_n and_o this_o clause_n prefix_v must_v be_v a_o warning_n to_o we_o to_o mark_v the_o doctrine_n therefore_o let_v we_o see_v what_o it_o be_v be_v not_o careful_a when_o he_o say_v be_v not_o careful_a what_o you_o shall_v eat_v etc._n etc._n the_o commandment_n must_v be_v consider_v lest_o it_o be_v mistake_v therefore_o the_o true_a sense_n be_v to_o be_v search_v out_o there_o be_v two_o kind_n of_o care_n first_o a_o godly_a and_o honest_a care_n second_o a_o distrustful_a care_n the_o first_o be_v commend_v in_o diverse_a place_n 6._o wisdom_n send_v to_o the_o ant_n to_o learn_v diligence_n &_o providence_n in_o earthly_a thing_n and_o the_o place_n of_o paul_n be_v well_o know_v 6._o he_o that_o be_v not_o provident_a for_o himself_o and_o he_o be_v worse_a than_o a_o infidel_n where_o the_o holy_a ghost_n commend_v unto_o we_o a_o provident_a care_n and_o circumspection_n for_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o life_n therefore_o there_o be_v a_o lawful_a care_n and_o it_o be_v this_o when_o man_n walk_v in_o their_o calling_n and_o do_v the_o duty_n of_o it_o diligent_o with_o good_a and_o upright_o deal_n to_o every_o man_n mind_v to_o seek_v no_o more_o than_o be_v necessary_a in_o the_o judgement_n of_o all_o man_n for_o this_o life_n this_o be_v one_o principal_a point_n of_o this_o godly_a care_n the_o second_o point_n after_o we_o have_v use_v due_a diligence_n be_v to_o leave_v the_o success_n and_o issue_n to_o god_n we_o must_v leave_v the_o dispose_n of_o our_o labour_n to_o the_o lord_n for_o it_o belong_v to_o god_n and_o be_v proper_a to_o he_o to_o dispose_v of_o the_o success_n and_o event_n of_o our_o labour_n we_o must_v not_o frame_v the_o success_n to_o ourselves_o how_o we_o will_v have_v it_o but_o refer_v it_o and_o ourselves_o to_o god_n good_a providence_n take_v moses_n for_o a_o example_n he_o be_v call_v to_o be_v a_o deliverer_n of_o the_o israelite_n out_o of_o egypt_n he_o obey_v god_n commandment_n and_o come_v when_o he_o be_v call_v and_o go_v when_o he_o be_v send_v and_o do_v his_o endeavour_n to_o bring_v they_o from_o egypt_n to_o canaan_n and_o though_o he_o have_v many_o cross_n yet_o he_o go_v forward_o and_o leave_v the_o success_n to_o god_n as_o we_o see_v exod._n 14._o when_o he_o be_v drive_v into_o such_o strait_n that_o he_o have_v the_o sea_n before_o he_o hill_n on_o the_o one_o side_n and_o wood_n on_o the_o other_o he_o say_v fear_v not_o but_o stand_v still_o and_o behold_v the_o salvation_n of_o the_o lord_n so_o abraham_n be_v command_v to_o sacrifice_v his_o son_n isaac_n obey_v and_o go_v about_o it_o and_o when_o isaac_n ask_v he_o where_o the_o sacrifice_n be_v he_o say_v god_n will_v provide_v therefore_o in_o a_o word_n the_o godly_a care_n be_v when_o man_n do_v the_o work_n of_o their_o calling_n with_o diligence_n leave_v the_o success_n of_o their_o labour_n to_o god_n this_o care_n be_v of_o the_o duty_n only_o and_o not_o of_o the_o success_n and_o this_o be_v not_o here_o condemn_v but_o the_o second_o kind_n be_v a_o distrustful_a care_n which_o doubt_v of_o god_n providence_n when_o man_n do_v the_o work_n of_o their_o calling_n diligent_o but_o so_o as_o they_o distrust_v god_n providence_n and_o dare_v not_o commend_v and_o commit_v the_o fruit_n and_o event_n thereof_o to_o god_n this_o be_v a_o distrustful_a and_o a_o unlawful_a care_n that_o you_o may_v the_o better_o conceive_v of_o it_o it_o have_v these_o fruit_n follow_v first_o it_o oppress_v the_o heart_n with_o fear_n and_o grief_n with_o fear_n of_o poverty_n and_o want_n and_o so_o fill_v the_o heart_n with_o grief_n note_n second_o when_o man_n keep_v not_o themselves_o to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o lawful_a mean_n but_o use_v unlawful_a mean_n to_o get_v their_o live_n with_o note_n three_o when_o man_n be_v so_o careful_a for_o the_o world_n that_o they_o neglect_v prayer_n and_o the_o service_n of_o god_n in_o hear_v the_o word_n the_o heart_n be_v overload_v and_o oppress_v and_o it_o argue_v that_o there_o be_v care_v not_o only_o for_o the_o duty_n but_o for_o the_o success_n which_o belong_v to_o god_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o a_o distrustful_a care_n be_v and_o this_o be_v the_o care_n that_o be_v here_o forbid_a when_o man_n distrust_v god_n and_o use_v unlawful_a mean_n to_o enrich_v themselves_o it_o be_v a_o care_n that_o be_v join_v with_o neglect_n of_o god_n worship_n and_o with_o grief_n and_o fear_n for_o the_o greek_a word_n do_v signify_v such_o a_o care_n as_o distract_v the_o mind_n divide_v it_o and_o bring_v it_o into_o perplexity_n so_o that_o it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v be_v not_o careful_a in_o such_o sort_n that_o your_o mind_n be_v trouble_v and_o perplex_v his_o meaning_n be_v not_o to_o forbid_v labour_n or_o lawful_a care_n for_o than_o he_o shall_v speak_v against_o all_o calling_n so_o much_o of_o the_o sense_n and_o meaning_n of_o this_o heavenly_a commandment_n now_o let_v we_o apply_v it_o to_o ourselves_o that_o which_o be_v here_o forbid_a be_v the_o common_a sin_n of_o most_o man_n now_o and_o it_o be_v not_o in_o a_o few_o but_o it_o be_v a_o common_a and_o ordinary_a thing_n it_o lurk_v in_o the_o heart_n and_o show_v itself_o in_o the_o life_n one_o kind_n of_o ground_n receive_v the_o seed_n but_o when_o it_o spring_v up_o it_o be_v choke_v with_o worldly_a care_n and_o this_o be_v common_a among_o we_o and_o therefore_o the_o world_n have_v so_o little_a fruit_n if_o we_o will_v examine_v ourselves_o what_o profit_n &_o proceed_n we_o have_v make_v in_o christ_n school_n we_o shall_v see_v little_a fruit_n for_o this_o immoderate_a care_n do_v divide_v the_o heart_n and_o distract_v the_o mind_n worldly_a care_n toss_v it_o and_o turn_v it_o like_o the_o wave_n of_o the_o sea_n this_o be_v one_o argument_n of_o it_o and_o a_o evident_a proof_n that_o this_o sin_n be_v common_a second_o there_o be_v no_o trade_n or_o calling_n but_o it_o have_v conveance_n of_o craft_n and_o deceit_n though_o the_o practice_n of_o man_n be_v not_o common_o know_v yet_o the_o thing_n be_v certain_o true_a and_o manifest_a he_o that_o have_v but_o half_a a_o eye_n may_v see_v into_o the_o abuse_n which_o be_v daily_o practise_v and_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o find_v they_o that_o seem_v religious_a to_o make_v conscience_n of_o this_o in_o their_o calling_n and_o to_o avoid_v the_o common_a craft_n what_o argue_v this_o but_o that_o our_o heart_n be_v possess_v with_o immoderate_a care_n we_o depend_v not_o on_o god_n providence_n we_o dare_v not_o trust_v he_o with_o the_o success_n we_o fear_v he_o will_v not_o give_v so_o good_a a_o blessing_n as_o we_o look_v for_o now_o christ_n give_v we_o warning_n of_o this_o &_o do_v command_v we_o to_o take_v heed_n of_o it_o that_o we_o have_v no_o distrustful_a care_n so_o much_o as_o for_o thing_n necessary_a question_n what_o must_v we_o do_v then_o answer_n our_o duty_n be_v declare_v elsewhere_o see_v a_o most_o excellent_a commandment_n it_o be_v repeat_v by_o david_n ps._n 55._o and_o ps._n 37._o 5._o and_o by_o solomon_n prou._n 16._o and_o by_o peter_n i_o be_v a_o most_o

the_o success_n unto_o god_n leave_v the_o blessing_n to_o his_o providence_n the_o meaning_n be_v not_o to_o forbid_v we_o to_o walk_v in_o our_o

shall_v be_v a_o spur_n and_o inducement_n to_o every_o one_o to_o seek_v for_o it_o the_o commodity_n shall_v move_v we_o to_o affect_v it_o above_o all_o that_o you_o may_v the_o better_a do_v it_o remember_v two_o thing_n first_o that_o you_o get_v the_o beginning_n of_o this_o wisdom_n that_o be_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n to_o reverence_v his_o word_n and_o to_o tremble_v at_o his_o presence_n which_o you_o shall_v have_v if_o you_o lay_v the_o word_n to_o your_o conscience_n when_o you_o hear_v and_o read_v never_o storm_v at_o it_o when_o the_o whole_a man_n do_v bow_v himself_o the_o mind_n conscience_n and_o will_v without_o reply_v &_o repine_v rage_a or_o chafe_v than_o we_o be_v go_v a_o good_a way_n and_o have_v make_v good_a beginning_n &_o proceed_n when_o the_o word_n check_v we_o cross_v &_o control_v our_o fault_n strive_v not_o against_o it_o but_o obey_v it_o second_o we_o must_v all_o close_v our_o eye_n the_o eye_n of_o our_o mind_n i_o mean_v and_o suffer_v ourselves_o to_o be_v lead_v in_o all_o thing_n by_o the_o write_a word_n to_o be_v order_v and_o rule_v by_o the_o law_n and_o commandment_n of_o god_n mark_v this_o point_n for_o if_o we_o can_v practice_v this_o we_o shall_v get_v true_a wisdom_n and_o happiness_n therefore_o give_v attendance_n to_o it_o in_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o your_o life_n and_o let_v the_o lord_n over-rule_v you_o by_o his_o word_n read_v psalm_n 119._o david_n example_n be_v most_o excellent_a by_o meditate_v in_o the_o law_n he_o become_v wise_a than_o the_o ancient_a and_o those_o that_o be_v his_o

in_o a_o word_n remember_v to_o renounce_v thy_o affection_n and_o to_o shut_v up_o thy_o eye_n &_o let_v the_o lord_n perform_v his_o work_n in_o thou_o again_o in_o that_o the_o single_a eye_n be_v

&_o that_o be_v do_v by_o remember_v these_o four_o thing_n follow_v first_o the_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v must_v be_v just_a second_o the_o mean_n of_o do_v it_o must_v be_v just_a also_o three_o we_o

for_o good_a and_o that_o the_o mind_n have_v lose_v the_o gift_n of_o discern_v in_o many_o thing_n appear_v thus_o many_o of_o we_o by_o nature_n know_v not_o god_n as_o we_o ought_v nor_o
