And by this we are taught, how earnestly and diligently we should go about 1the Lords business, when we may, and have opportunity, and chiefly in our tribulation; namely, with fervent prayers suing to him for help in the one, and success in the other; which seeking to him, the Lord doth much regard and commend: and (as he here did) to oppose our selves against his enemies, wherein we find and can prove that they be so. For as the Lord loveth a cheerful giver, so he loveth a cheerful doer of his business. 2And so should we be also, and the rather seeing there are but few that are forward and readily minded in Gods matters, howsoever in other attempts they run when they should draw back. But of this latter point, every where almost through the book.
