On this ground also we must be the more watchful over our selves,1 that we misspend not our life, health, strength, or goods on any thing contrary to that end, as in pursuing carnal pleasures, worldly honours, earthly trash, and such like things. Note for this purpose that item which the wise man giveth to the young man persisting in misspending his precious time, to whom ironically he saith,2 Rejoice ô young man in thy youth, and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine own eyes. But know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee to judgement.
