particular_a work_n and_o employment_n that_o be_v appoint_v man_n to_o do_v in_o this_o world_n that_o can_v be_v the_o work_n of_o a_o hour_n or_o be_v comprise_v within_o the_o limit_n of_o one_o single_a sermon_n my_o design_n be_v only_o to_o give_v you_o those_o head_n unto_o which_o our_o particular_a duty_n may_v be_v refer_v and_o may_v serve_v as_o a_o memorial_n to_o we_o by_o the_o help_n of_o which_o we_o may_v the_o better_o call_v to_o mind_v our_o particular_a duty_n and_o be_v put_v in_o mind_n of_o the_o practice_n of_o they_o 1._o the_o first_o relation_n we_o stand_v in_o be_v towards_o god_n and_o that_o may_v be_v consider_v two_o way_n 1._o as_o we_o be_v his_o creature_n 2._o as_o we_o be_v sinner_n against_o he_o from_o both_o these_o different_a consideration_n different_a work_n arise_v which_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o do_v and_o which_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o they_o shall_v be_v do_v before_o the_o night_n come_v 1._o as_o we_o be_v his_o creature_n and_o so_o there_o lie_v a_o obligation_n upon_o we_o to_o do_v whatsoever_o god_n have_v enjoin_v we_o it_o be_v but_o reason_n that_o he_o that_o make_v we_o shall_v have_v the_o full_a disposal_n of_o we_o we_o look_v to_o have_v the_o use_n of_o what_o our_o hand_n have_v make_v and_o we_o be_v as_o the_o apostle_n say_v ephes_n 2._o 10._o the_o workmanship_n of_o god_n it_o be_v unjust_a and_o unreasonable_a to_o deny_v that_o god_n have_v the_o full_a power_n to_o appoint_v and_o assign_v we_o what_o employment_n he_o see_v fit_a and_o therefore_o we_o be_v not_o to_o consult_v our_o own_o fancy_n nor_o be_v guide_v by_o our_o own_o inclination_n what_o we_o shall_v do_v or_o how_o we_o shall_v live_v now_o we_o be_v come_v into_o the_o world_n but_o we_o must_v receive_v our_o errand_n from_o his_o mouth_n and_o attend_v to_o he_o for_o direction_n how_o to_o spend_v our_o time_n we_o must_v look_v to_o the_o manifestation_n of_o his_o mind_n and_o the_o revelation_n of_o his_o will_n we_o must_v listen_v to_o what_o god_n have_v command_v for_o what_o god_n have_v bid_v we_o to_o do_v that_o be_v our_o work_n and_o so_o we_o must_v employ_v ourselves_o now_o this_o be_v consider_v that_o we_o be_v just_o at_o god_n disposal_n by_o the_o law_n of_o our_o creation_n and_o none_o can_v claim_v any_o interest_n in_o we_o nor_o any_o share_n in_o our_o time_n or_o service_n contrary_a to_o what_o god_n have_v appoint_v it_o will_v further_o follow_v that_o be_v whole_o he_o and_o at_o his_o disposal_n our_o whole_a time_n and_o ability_n ought_v to_o be_v employ_v in_o his_o service_n and_o for_o his_o glory_n for_o as_o the_o scripture_n refer_v our_o be_v to_o god_n and_o every_o where_o teach_v we_o that_o he_o be_v the_o creator_n of_o we_o and_o all_o thing_n so_o they_o far_o instruct_v we_o that_o the_o design_n of_o all_o thing_n be_v his_o own_o glory_n which_o for_o we_o to_o deny_v at_o any_o time_n or_o in_o any_o instance_n to_o be_v serviceable_a to_o be_v to_o frustate_v the_o end_n of_o our_o creator_n and_o to_o contradict_v the_o design_n of_o our_o be_v solomon_n tell_v we_o prov._n 16._o 4._o that_o the_o lord_n have_v make_v all_o thing_n for_o himself_o and_o the_o apostle_n give_v we_o this_o strict_a charge_n 1_o cor._n 10._o 31._o whatsoever_o you_o do_v do_v all_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n so_o that_o as_o all_o that_o we_o have_v our_o be_v and_o the_o enjoyment_n we_o possess_v in_o it_o be_v the_o bounty_n of_o god_n so_o must_v all_o be_v refer_v to_o he_o again_o in_o a_o industrious_a employment_n of_o all_o for_o his_o service_n and_o glory_n so_o that_o to_o be_v idle_a and_o useless_a in_o the_o world_n and_o to_o do_v no_o good_a will_v be_v sound_a to_o be_v against_o the_o design_n of_o our_o creation_n as_o real_o though_o not_o it_o may_v be_v so_o much_o as_o be_v our_o employ_v ourselves_o in_o evil_a &_o do_v mischief_n for_o when_o our_o reason_n will_v not_o permit_v we_o to_o imagine_v that_o god_n by_o his_o power_n shall_v make_v we_o and_o by_o his_o daily_a providence_n preserve_v we_o and_o feed_v we_o with_o his_o bounty_n and_o this_o for_o no_o other_o end_n as_o lady_n keep_v dog_n to_o lie_v and_o sleep_v in_o their_o lap_n by_o the_o law_n then_o of_o our_o creation_n we_o owe_v ourselves_o entire_o to_o god_n and_o as_o we_o be_v his_o creature_n we_o ought_v to_o be_v always_o employ_v in_o his_o service_n and_o so_o universal_a obedience_n be_v our_o duty_n and_o task_n which_o though_o through_o our_o weakness_n we_o

and_o part_n of_o our_o due_a obedience_n be_v not_o a_o frailty_n and_o infirmity_n of_o nature_n but_o contumacy_n and_o wilful_a rebellion_n and_o from_o what_o have_v thus_o far_o be_v say_v concern_v our_o employment_n and_o that_o we_o ought_v always_o to_o be_v engage_v in_o this_o service_n of_o god_n will_v appear_v the_o folly_n and_o unreasonableness_n of_o those_o that_o talk_v of_o serve_v god_n hereafter_o that_o neglect_v their_o duty_n now_o and_o talk_v of_o do_v it_o another_o time_n for_o these_o do_v not_o regard_v nor_o weigh_v that_o all_o our_o time_n be_v to_o
