A Saint Indeed

Jesus Christ had an instrumental fitness for his fathers work above all the servants that ever God employed, he was zealous in public work for God, so zealous, that sometimes he forgot to eat bread, yea, that his friends thought he had been besides himself: but yet he so carried on his public work, as not to forget his own private communion with God; and therefore you read in Matth. 14. 23. that when he had been labouring ⟨p. 204⟩all day yet after that, he went up to a mountain apart to pray, and was there alone. O let the keepers of the vineyards look to their own vineyard! we shall never be so instrumental to the good of others, as when we are most diligent about our own Souls.
