- 1Observ. Of Degrees of Glory.
Although the Wise man inscribes this Motto upon all the labour under the Sun, That it is vanity and wearisomeness; yet spiritual labour hath a sure recompense; It's not praying in vain, it's not seeking Gods face in vain. 1 Cor. 15.58. Always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as you know your labour is not in vain. Oh it's comfortable to be found always doing Gods work, for we are sure that will have a good end; there will come eternal profit by it.
