grace_n of_o christ_n 1_o pet._n 2.9_o 1_o thes_n 5.14_o 15_o be_v patient_a to_o all_o man_n not_o render_v evil_a for_o evil_a to_o any_o man_n but_o ever_o follow_v that_o which_o be_v good_a so_o far_o as_o any_o man_n do_v thus_o manage_v his_o worldly_a affair_n for_o his_o prosperity_n in_o the_o world_n he_o shall_v not_o prejudice_v but_o thereby_o far_o his_o soul-prosperity_n and_o in_o order_n hereunto_o consider_v these_o few_o thing_n 1._o remember_v that_o of_o solomon_n pro._n 28.20_o make_v not_o haste_n to_o be_v rich_a do_v not_o grasp_v more_o of_o the_o world_n into_o your_o hand_n than_o you_o may_v manage_v without_o distraction_n this_o can_v any_o more_o be_v for_o the_o prosperity_n of_o the_o soul_n then_o to_o eat_v more_o meat_n than_o the_o natural_a heat_n of_o the_o stomach_n can_v well_o digest_v can_v be_v for_o the_o health_n of_o the_o body_n therefore_o in_o such_o a_o case_n it_o be_v a_o man_n duty_n interest_n and_o wisdom_n to_o do_v as_o the_o seaman_n do_v when_o the_o ship_n be_v overload_v cast_v out_o some_o of_o the_o burden_n lest_o they_o hazard_v the_o loss_n of_o their_o life_n otherwise_o that_o will_v be_v find_v a_o truth_n when_o it_o may_v be_v too_o late_o to_o prevent_v it_o what_o the_o apostle_n say_v 1_o tim._n 6.9_o they_o that_o will_v be_v rich_a that_o be_v set_v upon_o it_o fall_v into_o temptation_n and_o snare_n and_o into_o many_o foolish_a and_o hurtful_a lust_n which_o drown_v man_n in_o a_o whirlpool_n of_o destruction_n and_o perdition_n 2._o remember_v that_o though_o you_o ought_v to_o be_v diligent_a in_o your_o call_n yet_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v with_o a_o holy_a indifferency_n of_o spirit_n not_o as_o rachel_n gen._n 30.1_o give_v i_o child_n or_o i_o die_v but_o as_o david_n in_o that_o great_a strait_n wherein_o he_o be_v 2_o sam._n 15.26_o let_v the_o lord_n do_v with_o i_o as_o it_o seem_v good_a in_o his_o sight_n thus_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v and_o thus_o it_o may_v be_v if_o we_o desire_v our_o care_n for_o prosperity_n in_o this_o world_n may_v not_o hinder_v the_o prosperity_n of_o our_o soul_n the_o strong_a and_o high_a working_n both_o of_o our_o head_n and_o heart_n shall_v be_v after_o our_o soul_n concernment_n thus_o do_v david_n psal_n 63.8_o my_o soul_n follow_v hard_a after_o thou_o 2_o sam._n 6.14_o david_n dance_v before_o the_o lord_n with_o all_o his_o might_n but_o when_o a_o man_n eye_n and_o his_o heart_n as_o the_o expression_n be_v concern_v jehojakim_n jer._n 22.17_o be_v but_o for_o the_o world_n i._n e._n he_o do_v greedy_o affect_v it_o and_o most_o eager_o pursue_v it_o as_o if_o that_o judgement_n be_v befall_v he_o which_o literal_o befall_v korah_n and_o dathan_n the_o earth_n swallow_v they_o however_o such_o may_v hold_v up_o and_o rub_v on_o in_o a_o formal_a profession_n and_o that_o it_o may_v be_v with_o some_o seem_a forwardness_n yet_o their_o soul_n can_v never_o prosper_v it_o be_v impossible_a they_o shall_v therefore_o labour_v not_o for_o that_o meat_n which_o perish_v but_o for_o that_o which_o endure_v to_o everlasting_a life_n joh._n 6.27_o 3._o remember_v this_o that_o there_o be_v no_o absolute_a necessity_n of_o it_o upon_o one_o account_n or_o other_o that_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v as_o rich_a as_o other_o rich_a man_n of_o the_o same_o call_n that_o be_v necessary_a which_o can_v be_v supply_v with_o something_o instead_o of_o it_o as_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v necessary_a for_o the_o day_n all_o the_o candle_n in_o the_o world_n can_v supply_v the_o want_n of_o that_o no_o it_o will_v be_v night_n when_o the_o sun_n be_v set_v for_o all_o the_o star_n now_o the_o wealth_n and_o great_a thing_n of_o the_o world_n may_v be_v supply_v by_o something_o else_o for_o neither_o man_n life_n nor_o the_o comfort_n of_o his_o life_n consist_v in_o abundance_n luk._n 12.15_o so_o psal_n 4.6_o 7._o there_o be_v many_o that_o say_v who_o will_v show_v we_o any_o good_a lord_n lift_v thou_o up_o the_o light_n of_o thy_o countenance_n upon_o we_o thou_o have_v put_v gladness_n in_o my_o heart_n more_o than_o in_o the_o time_n that_o their_o corn_n and_o their_o wine_n increase_v but_o all_o the_o world_n can_v supply_v the_o want_n of_o soul-prosperity_n matth._n 16.28_o what_o can_v it_o profit_v a_o man_n if_o he_o shall_v gain_v the_o whole_a world_n and_o lose_v his_o own_o soul_n therefore_o that_o be_v the_o only_a thing_n necessary_a luke_n 10.42_o 4._o remember_v this_o that_o we_o manage_v the_o business_n of_o our_o call_n with_o a_o holy_a fear_n and_o jealousy_n lest_o we_o shall_v prejudice_v the_o welfare_n of_o our_o soul_n job_n be_v afraid_a lest_o his_o child_n while_o they_o be_v refresh_v their_o body_n shall_v have_v wrong_v their_o soul_n job_n 1.5_o there_o be_v as_o much_o reason_n to_o be_v afraid_a in_o this_o case_n for_o the_o world_n be_v defile_v jam._n 1.27_o to_o keep_v himself_o unspotted_a from_o the_o world_n it_o his_o hard_a to_o touch_v pitch_n and_o not_o to_o be_v defile_v this_o be_v in_o the_o thought_n of_o jesus_n christ_n joh._n 17.15_o i_o pray_v not_o that_o thou_o shall_v take_v they_o out_o of_o the_o world_n but_o that_o thou_o shall_v keep_v they_o from_o evil_a 5._o remember_v this_o that_o the_o roll_a predominant_a chief_a and_o principal_a end_n in_o labour_v for_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n shall_v be_v in_o reference_n to_o the_o world_n to_o come_v when_o david_n pray_v for_o life_n it_o be_v not_o principal_o that_o he_o may_v live_v but_o that_o he_o may_v live_v and_o praise_n god_n psal_n 119.17.175_o so_o in_o labour_v after_o all_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o life_n we_o shall_v desire_v they_o not_o as_o stop_n but_o as_o step_n in_o our_o way_n to_o heaven_n and_o so_o according_o use_v they_o reckon_v this_o though_o not_o the_o only_a yet_o as_o one_o of_o the_o chief_a advantage_n we_o have_v by_o they_o that_o we_o have_v a_o price_n put_v into_o our_o hand_n whereby_o we_o may_v be_v the_o more_o useful_a and_o our_o light_n shine_v so_o much_o the_o more_o before_o man_n that_o they_o may_v glorify_v our_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n matth._n 5.16_o 6._o remember_v this_o that_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n and_o we_o ought_v to_o prepare_v for_o it_o by_o keep_v the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n at_o a_o distance_n from_o our_o heart_n to_o run_v the_o hazard_n of_o the_o loss_n of_o all_o when_o the_o keep_n of_o they_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o conscience_n of_o that_o duty_n and_o subjection_n we_o owe_v to_o christ_n when_o it_o come_v to_o that_o we_o shall_v suffer_v joyful_o the_o spoil_n of_o our_o good_n as_o they_o do_v heb._n 10.34_o though_o we_o shall_v go_v as_o naked_a out_o of_o the_o world_n as_o ever_o we_o come_v into_o the_o world_n he_o that_o will_v keep_v what_o he_o have_v in_o a_o way_n that_o god_n do_v not_o approve_v of_o may_v keep_v the_o thing_n but_o he_o will_v lose_v the_o comfort_n of_o it_o even_o as_o they_o exod._n 16.20_o that_o will_v keep_v manna_n beyond_o the_o time_n that_o god_n allow_v they_o they_o have_v the_o manna_n but_o it_o do_v they_o no_o good_a it_o have_v worm_n in_o it_o and_o do_v stink_v thus_o we_o have_v something_o towards_o the_o answer_n of_o that_o question_n and_o i_o do_v believe_v that_o you_o will_v find_v that_o so_o far_o as_o these_o rule_n be_v observe_v the_o world_n will_v not_o prejudice_v your_o soul_n finis_fw-la
