See this fault now, so many as are guilty, and set your selves to a more profitable kind of living, or else the day will come when you shall bootlessly wish that you had never been; O so lay out your life, that the world and your selves may be the better for it. Live as Abraham and Jacob did, not as Esau, follow some study, follow some good husbandry.
See this fault now, so many as are guilty, and set your selves to a more profitable kinde of living, or else the day will come when you shall bootlesly wish that you had never been; O so lay out your life, that the world and your selves may be the better for it. Live as Abraham and Iacob did, not as Esau, follow some study, follow some good husbandry.
Live, as those that know there is another life after this, and that there be more weighty and honourable things to do than playing and sporting: Take heed of bringing your selves into the number of those that are Lovers of pleasures, more than lovers of God. If you say, why? Then do you condemn all use of sports, as hunting, fowling, or the like?

I answer, no. I do not, but I say, let not this in a manner be the total sum of your employment. Have figures, as well as cyphers in the number of your days, let these kinds of exercises have some small quantity of time for your refreshment, but spend your selves in better things, or else you shall be censured with S. James his censure, You have lived in pleasure upon earth, and then I am sure you shall live in torment when you must leave the earth.
