Care-•way.
IF worldly troubles come too fast upon a man; he hath an herb called Careaway. Not that he bequeaths himself to a supine negligence, as if God would fill his house with provision, while he sits and sings care away. But as he is free from idleness, so also from distrust. He considers the Ravens and Lilies; and knows, that the Lord is the Preserver of men, as well as of Fowls and flowers: that he respects man above ⟨p. 89⟩those, and his own above other men. Therefore he throws all his cares upon God; as if they were too heavy a lode for himself. Solicitous thoughtfulness can give him no hurt, but this herb Careaway shall easily cure it.
IF worldly troubles come too fast vpon a man; hee hath an herbe called Careaway. Not that hee bequeathes himselfe to a supine negligence, as if God would fill his house with prouision, while he sits and sings care away. But as he is free from idlenesse, so also from distrust. Hee considers the Rauens and Lillies; and knowes, that the Lord is the Preseruer of men, as well as of Fowles and flowers: that hee respects man aboue ⟨p. 89⟩those, and his owne aboue other men. Therefore hee throwes all his cares vpon God; as if they were too heauy a lode for himselfe. Sollicitous thoughtfulnes can giue him no hurt, but this herbe Careaway shall easily cure it.
