He hath several ways of employment; he employed Moses one way, in giving out the Law; and h• employed Ezra another way, in restoring of the Law: Both were employed, but their Employments were very different. In 1 Sam. 30. we read, that when David fought against the Amalekites, to recover his Wives, and substance, some of his men stayed and tarried by the Stuff, to preserve that; and saith David, verse 24. As his part is, that goeth down to the Battle; so shall his part be, that tarrieth by the Stuff, they shall part alike. Now it may be, you are one of those that stay by Christs Stuff, being employed in some lower and meaner Service; Christ hath a care of you; and though you stay at home, yet you, even you shall have part in the Spoil, as well as those whose work and employment is more honourable.
