publicll
I
am
guilty
of
the
evilI
done,
If
God
hath bleffed
many
in
their trade,
and they
have
gotten
an
&late ,
and
live
a
brave
life,
and
leave
their trade,
indeed
it
is
an
idle
life
,
and
little
ufefull
to
the
familyes
where
theyare,
they
have enough
com-
ingin every yeare,what
need they trouble
themfelves to exer-
cife themfelves in
that
which may
be
to
the
publick good
it
may be you may pleafe your felves in
fuch
thoughts
as th,
efe
are, but
certainly
they
are
very
finfull
before the Lord
;
if
you
have
any
talents for to bellow
for
the Lord,
doe
not hide them
under
a
Bufhell,
but
fet them
forth
in
the
places where
you
are, that
others
may have
the benefit of them,
and
the good
of
them.
Sometimes
a
fervant
may
be good
to
hold forth
light
to
the
family
;
but
above
all, the
Governours of the family,
Mailers
of families,
if the Lord
hath given
you fuch
talents,
floe
not
you
keepe them
in
,
but
hold them forth to the
uttermoft
,
that
they
may be
improved for the good
of
all
:people.
