GOD out of the abundance of His own goodness, and compassionate consideration of our weakness hath allotted and allowed unto us six days for our own business, and reserved but one to be consecrated in special manner, as glorious unto Him; and yet wretched men, they must needs clip the LORDS coin, encroach upon His sanctified time, and unthankfully and accursedly spend those holy hours in which they should treasure up knowledge and comfort against that fearful day, in idleness, worldliness, and profane pastimes, whereby besides the particular curse upon their own souls, they many times ⟨p. 208⟩draw many miseries and plagues upon the place where they live. This reason is carnal indeed, this wisdom is earthly with a witness.
