'Tis Gods work (saith the Martyr) to take care, 'tis our work to cast care: Cast all your care upon God; there's your work: for he careth for you, that's Gods work.

'Tis Gods work to take off our Sackcloth, 'tis our work to wear it; but we mind Gods work, the taking of it off: When shall this Sackcloth be off? and neglect our own work, to wear it handsomely.—Why should we not I say, mind our business? ⟨p. 116⟩what is the duty of a Sackcloth condition more?
'Tis Gods work to take off our Sackcloth, 'tis our work to wear it; but we mind Gods work, the taking of it off: When shall this Sackcloth be off? and neglect our own work, to wear it handsomly.—Why should we not I say, mind our business? ⟨p. 116⟩what is the duty of a Sackcloth condition more?
Why then, when we are in Sackcloth, surely then 'tis our duty for to lay by our Ornaments: Let the Bridegroom go out of his Chamber, in the day of Sackcloth; if any body may rejoice, the Bridegroom may; But let the Bridegroom go forth of his chamber in a Sackcloth day: Lay aside your Ornaments friends, lay aside your Ornaments: In the time of Sackcloth, 'tis our duty then for to fast and pray, and cry mightily unto the Lord.
