In the morning sow thy seed, and ⟨p. 175⟩in the evening let not thine hand rest: For thou knowest not whether shall prosper this or that, or whether both shall be alike good.

In the morning sowe thy seede, and ⟨p. 175⟩in the euening let not thine hand rest: For thou knowest not whether shall prosper this or that, or whether both shall be alyke good.

HE speaketh not this of tillage only,¹ but generally of all the works of man, and chiefly of doing good works as Paul saith: Let us do good while we have time. In the morning, that is, betimes or alway. The reason is, because thou knowest not which will soonest grow. Cast thou thy seed in the ground, and do that thou oughtest, and then commit all thy labour & success hereof to God. Do well unto all men, mark not the winds, nor care not for that is to come. Thus must we do our good works, & not look for our thanks here. If the world doth give no thanks, God thanketh, if both cometh to pass so much is it the better. And if Dangers ensue, receive them thankfully.
