be_v the_o same_o reason_n for_o we_o to_o be_v diligent_a in_o mind_v and_o hasten_v our_o work_n that_o we_o have_v to_o do_v that_o there_o be_v for_o he_o to_o mind_n and_o hasten_v he_o these_o

offer_v itself_o to_o do_v these_o work_n in_o i_o must_v work_v the_o work_n of_o he_o that_o send_v i_o while_o it_o be_v day_n 3._o that_o the_o reason_n why_o he_o do_v thus_o and_o so_o careful_o lay_v hold_n on_o every_o season_n to_o do_v his_o work_n in_o 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 1._o the_o first_o consideration_n i_o shall_v whole_o wave_v for_o think_v it_o be_v worth_a our_o enquiry_n what_o the_o work_n be_v he_o have_v to_o do_v and_o by_o who_o he_o be_v send_v and_o how_o he_o that_o be_v in_o his_o

work_v he_o do_v he_o be_v god_n can_v be_v the_o work_n or_o by_o the_o appointment_n of_o any_o other_o but_o himself_o which_o may_v all_o be_v answer_v by_o consider_v the_o distinction_n of_o his_o nature_n and_o his_o office_n yet_o since_o the_o consider_v these_o be_v not_o pertinent_a to_o my_o present_a purpose_n the_o force_n of_o the_o word_n as_o to_o the_o business_n in_o hand_n lie_v in_o his_o diligence_n in_o work_v and_o in_o the_o reason_n he_o give_v of_o it_o it_o may_v suffice_v to_o have_v observe_v that_o he_o have_v work_n to_o do_v without_o enter_v into_o any_o discourse_n concern_v the_o nature_n of_o they_o or_o the_o account_n upon_o which_o he_o be_v oblige_v to_o perform_v they_o i_o shall_v pass_v therefore_o from_o this_o to_o what_o be_v more_o pertinent_a to_o the_o present_a purpose_n and_o consider_v 2._o that_o he_o take_v the_o present_a time_n to_o do_v his_o work_n in_o and_o this_o be_v employ_v in_o that_o expression_n i_o must_v work_v while_o it_o be_v day_n to_o wave_n here_o the_o curious_a criticism_n and_o conjecture_n of_o some_o upon_o the_o day_n here_o mention_v by_o day_n here_o i_o understand_v the_o time_n of_o 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 the_o course_n of_o his_o life_n upon_o earth_n to_o a_o day_n and_o therefore_o be_v the_o time_n of_o life_n call_v a_o day_n with_o a_o especial_a respect_n and_o relation_n to_o work_v the_o day_n be_v a_o time_n and_o the_o only_a time_n for_o work_n the_o night_n be_v appoint_v for_o rest_n and_o so_o be_v our_o life_n the_o only_a time_n of_o do_v what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v in_o order_n to_o our_o eternal_a state_n in_o death_n we_o rest_v from_o our_o labour_n our_o saviour_n therefore_o will_v let_v no_o opportunity_n pass_v of_o do_v good_a while_o it_o be_v day_n that_o be_v while_o the_o time_n of_o his_o life_n upon_o earth_n last_v and_o that_o for_o the_o reason_n which_o he_o give_v in_o the_o next_o word_n the_o night_n come_v when_o no_o man_n can_v work_v and_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o come_v next_o to_o be_v consider_v to_o give_v a_o account_n why_o he_o be_v so_o diligent_a in_o work_v and_o the_o text_n tell_v we_o 3._o that_o the_o reason_n why_o he_o 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 life_n then_o by_o night_n must_v here_o be_v mean_v the_o time_n of_o death_n for_o this_o reason_n then_o our_o saviour_n say_v he_o must_v work_v while_o he_o live_v because_o death_n be_v come_v 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 that_o it_o be_v now_o approach_v and_o already_o upon_o his_o journey_n towards_o he_o 2._o from_o the_o effect_n of_o it_o when_o come_v no_o man_n can_v work_v as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v i_o must_v now_o do_v what_o i_o have_v to_o do_v while_o i_o have_v time_n and_o life_n my_o time_n be_v not_o long_o my_o death_n come_v and_o be_v at_o hand_n and_o when_o that_o be_v once_o come_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

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
