suppose_v our_o calling_n lawful_a and_o we_o lawful_o call_v thereunto_o then_o that_o we_o must_v give_v all_o diligence_n in_o discharge_n thereof_o i_o mention_v this_o because_o i_o observe_v the_o most_o man_n work_v hard_a and_o very_o diligent_a in_o their_o way_n but_o not_o from_o a_o true_a rise_n of_o duty_n they_o do_v it_o because_o otherwise_o they_o can_v not_o live_v if_o there_o be_v a_o mean_n of_o livelihood_n if_o man_n or_o child_n can_v live_v without_o a_o calling_n we_o will_v care_v little_a for_o calling_n and_o take_v as_o little_a pain_n about_o they_o for_o we_o observe_v the_o call_n be_v leave_v so_o soon_o as_o we_o have_v get_v a_o support_n by_o it_o and_o can_v live_v without_o it_o which_o assure_v we_o that_o the_o belly_n peâ—sprol_n

according_a to_o god_n ordinance_n note_v we_o our_o great-grand-father_n have_v mean_n of_o livelihood_n enough_o and_o of_o land_n good_a store_n yet_o have_v he_o his_o employment_n design_v unto_o

read_v it_o 36_o matth._n 25._o 36_o for_o they_o be_v unseparable_a god_n have_v join_v wickedness_n and_o slothfulness_n and_o we_o may_v be_v sure_o they_o can_v never_o be_v part_v a_o slothful_a servant_n be_v a_o wicked_a servant_n though_o he_o may_v pass_v for_o a_o master_n in_o the_o world_n but_o he_o may_v defend_v his_o sloth_n thus_o so_o i_o find_v it_o in_o chrysostome_n 16._o in_o

neither_o curse_v nor_o strike_v my_o fellow_n servant_n and_o then_o i_o have_v do_v no_o hurt_n i_o be_o sure_a so_o the_o slothful_a servant_n may_v say_v for_o himself_o he_o have_v do_v no_o hurt_n yes_o if_o thou_o do_v no_o good_a thou_o do_v hurt_v if_o thou_o be_v slothful_a thou_o be_v wicked_a the_o husbandman_n have_v do_v thou_o much_o hurt_n if_o he_o sit_v still_o in_o the_o

that_o while_o we_o answer_v our_o relation_n we_o stand_v in_o as_o member_n of_o the_o body_n we_o forget_v not_o that_o strict_a bond_n and_o relation_n we_o stand_v unto_o our_o head_n this_o be_v a_o main_a point_n and_o i_o touch_v upon_o it_o here_o because_o many_o there_o be_v who_o serve_v their_o particular_a calling_n and_o do_v their_o duty_n there_o think_v that_o this_o will_v hold_v

though_o of_o infinite_a concernment_n to_o our_o soul_n both_o yet_o we_o can_v because_o our_o calling_n will_v not_o admit_v so_o much_o vacancy_n or_o leisure_n what_o not_o to_o serve_v god_n what_o leisure_n to_o serve_v ourselves_o and_o the_o world_n and_o can_v find_v none_o to_o serve_v he_o who_o give_v we_o be_v and_o a_o place_n with_o all_o convenience_n in_o the_o world_n no_o leisure_n to_o serve_v he_o these_o thing_n ought_v we_o to_o have_v do_v in_o their_o place_n order_n and_o subordination_n to_o a_o high_a thing_n but_o the_o other_o thing_n that_o one_o thing_n we_o shall_v not_o have_v neglect_v certain_o it_o will_v be_v a_o most_o astonish_a excuse_n no_o excuse_n indeed_o but_o such_o as_o will_v leave_v we_o speechless_a to_o plead_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n for_o our_o neglect_n in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n he_o have_v design_v we_o our_o several_a calling_n that_o there_o we_o may_v the_o better_o serve_v and_o glorify_v he_o and_o if_o from_o thence_o we_o shall_v plead_v our_o omission_n therein_o our_o excuse_n will_v be_v no_o better_o than_o if_o a_o drunkard_n shall_v plead_v thus_o for_o his_o abuse_n of_o the_o good_a
