can_v answer_v to_o god_n and_o your_o own_o conscience_n and_o do_v every_o thing_n within_o your_o power_n that_o may_v approve_v and_o recommend_v you_o to_o both_o and_o thenceforward_a fear_v

a_o man_n live_v every_o day_n as_o if_o it_o be_v the_o last_o he_o have_v to_o live_v which_o doctrine_n have_v often_o raise_v scruple_n in_o my_o mind_n and_o i_o suspect_v it_o may_v have_v have_v the_o like_a effect_n upon_o other_o and_o to_o tell_v you_o my_o thought_n plain_o i_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o unpracticable_a and_o inconsistent_a with_o the_o common_a affair_n of_o life_n for_o most_o certain_o on_o that_o day_n which_o i_o think_v will_v be_v the_o last_o i_o shall_v live_v i_o will_v not_o fail_v to_o dismiss_v all_o other_o business_n whatsoever_o i_o will_v

upon_o my_o judgement_n in_o such_o a_o case_n but_o if_o you_o will_v have_v my_o opinion_n it_o be_v plain_o this_o that_o the_o rule_v you_o speak_v of_o be_v far_o more_o devout_a than_o judicious_a for_o as_o you_o well_o observe_v since_o god_n almighty_n have_v clothe_v our_o soul_n with_o body_n and_o place_v we_o in_o a_o world_n of_o business_n it_o can_v be_v that_o he_o shall_v expect_v we_o shall_v in_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o our_o life_n so_o single_o and_o sole_o apply_v ourselves_o to_o the_o affair_n of_o another_o world_n as_o we_o shall_v think_v fit_a to_o do_v just_a when_o we_o be_v go_v off_o the_o stage_n and_o solemn_o prepare_v ourselves_o for_o a_o immediate_a appearance_n at_o god_n judgment-seat_n if_o therefore_o those_o man_n you_o speak_v of_o have_v prescribe_v that_o we_o shall_v every_o day_n think_v of_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n as_o not_o know_v how_o soon_o it_o may_v be_v upon_o we_o or_o that_o we_o shall_v take_v care_n every_o day_n to_o advance_v in_o our_o provision_n for_o it_o they_o have_v deliver_v a_o great_a and_o a_o necessary_a truth_n but_o when_o they_o speak_v as_o if_o they_o mean_v that_o we_o must_v do_v nothing_o any_o day_n but_o what_o we_o will_v do_v if_o we_o be_v sure_a it_o be_v our_o last_o day_n they_o thwart_v the_o very_a order_n of_o divine_a providence_n in_o the_o condition_n of_o man_n and_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o world_n they_o condemn_v the_o practice_n and_o call_v in_o question_n the_o state_n of_o the_o best_a of_o man_n they_o lay_v a_o snare_n for_o the_o conscience_n of_o the_o weak_a and_o timorous_a and_o in_o a_o word_n they_o obtrude_v a_o impracticable_a notion_n for_o the_o most_o concern_v and_o necessary_a truth_n but_o you_o be_v not_o to_o wonder_v or_o be_v trouble_v at_o it_o for_o though_o there_o be_v general_o more_o defect_n of_o devotion_n than_o of_o knowledge_n in_o the_o world_n yet_o there_o be_v some_o particular_a man_n wherein_o the_o former_a exceed_v the_o latter_a and_o such_o man_n please_v themselves_o in_o a_o pretty_a say_n without_o be_v able_a to_o judge_v of_o the_o prudence_n of_o it_o and_o whilst_o they_o go_v about_o to_o awaken_v some_o secure_a and_o careless_a person_n to_o a_o serious_a sense_n of_o their_o eternal_a concern_n be_v not_o aware_a that_o they_o afford_v matter_n of_o everlasting_a scruple_n and_o offence_n to_o those_o that_o be_v true_o tender_a and_o conscientious_a it_o be_v easy_a to_o give_v you_o sundry_a instance_n of_o this_o superfine_v high_a strain_a divinity_n but_o there_o be_v one_o i_o will_v mention_v for_o its_o affinity_n with_o that_o before_o we_o viz._n you_o shall_v find_v it_o dogmatical_o deliver_v by_o some_o seem_a

to_o take_v the_o sure_a side_n now_o if_o these_o thing_n be_v lay_v down_o as_o prudential_a advice_n only_o to_o direct_v a_o man_n which_o way_n to_o incline_v himself_o they_o be_v very_o

consequent_o can_v choose_v but_o imbroil_v the_o conscience_n of_o man_n for_o suppose_v prayer_n be_v better_a than_o secular_a business_n then_o upon_o this_o principle_n i_o must_v turn_v

reason_n be_v therefore_o true_o honourable_a because_o the_o wise_a man_n be_v sure_a to_o have_v the_o victory_n but_o than_o second_o for_o the_o pleasure_n and_o delightfulness_n of_o discourse_n
