this_o life_n here_o upon_o earth_n and_o so_o our_o saviour_n say_v i_o must_v work_v while_o it_o be_v day_n the_o meaning_n be_v i_o must_v be_v do_v the_o work_n of_o he_o that_o send_v i_o now_o while_o i_o be_o upon_o earth_n now_o while_o i_o be_o in_o the_o flesh_n so_o theophylact_v the_o day_n be_v this_o present_a life_n and_o pis●ator_fw-la to_o the_o same_o sense_n he_o compare_v

do_v thus_o and_o so_o careful_o lay_v hold_n on_o the_o present_a season_n be_v lest_o the_o night_n shall_v prevent_v he_o the_o night_n come_v when_o no_o man_n can_v work_v in_o what_o sense_n the_o night_n be_v here_o to_o be_v take_v be_v easy_a to_o understand_v by_o what_o have_v be_v say_v of_o the_o day_n to_o which_o this_o answer_n for_o if_o that_o mean_v the_o time_n of_o this_o

in_o which_o we_o have_v a_o twofold_a reason_n couch_v 1._o from_o the_o nearness_n of_o it_o the_o night_n come_v it_o be_v not_o say_v it_o will_v come_v but_o it_o do_v come_v in_o that_o imply_v

these_o work_n of_o i_o must_v cease_v for_o in_o death_n no_o man_n can_v work_v parallel_n to_o which_o resolution_n and_o reason_n be_v the_o advice_n and_o argument_n of_o the_o wise_a man_n eccles_n 9_o 10._o whatsoever_o thy_o hand_n find_v to_o do_v do_v it_o with_o all_o thy_o might_n for_o there_o be_v no_o work_n nor_o device_n nor_o knowledge_n nor_o wisdom_n in_o the_o grave_a whither_o thou_o go_v and_o have_v thus_o brief_o clear_v the_o sense_n and_o importance_n of_o the_o word_n and_o consider_v the_o reason_n and_o foundation_n they_o stand_v upon_o there_o be_v no_o

prevail_v with_o he_o to_o diligence_n in_o his_o work_n be_v much_o more_o urgent_a upon_o we_o have_v he_o work_v to_o do_v so_o have_v we_o be_v death_n approach_v to_o he_o and_o be_v he_o mortal_a as_o he_o be_v a_o man_n certain_o and_o undeniable_o so_o be_v we_o if_o then_o it_o be_v a_o good_a reason_n for_o he_o to_o make_v haste_n to_o do_v his_o work_n because_o he_o must_v die_v undoubted_o the_o reason_n be_v as_o strong_a towards_o we_o for_o we_o must_v die_v too_o and_o after_o death_n there_o be_v no_o more_o work_n for_o we_o in_o our_o work_n than_o there_o be_v for_o he_o in_o he_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v then_o but_o the_o word_n belong_v to_o we_o and_o be_v a_o necessary_a rule_n of_o our_o practice_n and_o a_o strong_a reason_n to_o spur_v we_o on_o to_o

to_o our_o practice_n in_o this_o doctrinal_a proposition_n doct._n that_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v diligent_a in_o do_v our_o work_n that_o we_o have_v to_o do_v while_o we_o have_v time_n and_o life_n because_o death_n come_v where_o no_o work_n can_v be_v do_v a_o lesson_n needful_a to_o be_v learn_v because_o it_o be_v of_o great_a importance_n to_o we_o in_o order_n to_o our_o eternal_a welfare_n and_o so_o much_o the_o rather_o needful_a because_o the_o practice_n of_o too_o many_o tell_v we_o that_o they_o understand_v not_o this_o lesson_n nor_o be_v convince_v of_o the_o necessity_n of_o it_o some_o do_v not_o understand_v their_o work_n and_o so_o though_o they_o take_v much_o pain_n and_o be_v very_o busy_a their_o work_n turn_v to_o no_o account_n because_o though_o they_o have_v do_v much_o they_o have_v do_v nothing_o at_o all_o of_o what_o god_n send_v they_o to_o do_v some_o understand_v not_o their_o time_n and_o though_o they_o may_v know_v their_o work_n yet_o always_o think_v it_o too_o soon_o to_o set_v about_o it_o yet_o and_o so_o drive_v off_o and_o delay_v till_o their_o day_n be_v do_v before_o they_o begin_v their_o work_n both_o
