4. To be so intently set on the exercises of Religion as to neglect our particular callings,1 is a sign we are but weak in grace. It was a good saying of that famous man of God, Dr. Sibbs; I like that Christian well, that will hear much and live much, that, will pray much and work much. 2In young Converts their affections are strong and stirring, and they think they can never hear enough, and they many times do neglect the duties of their ⟨p. 22⟩callings, which doth argue their weakness and infirmity. An experienced grown Christian, is regular in his general and particular calling; so as the one shall not jostle and hinder the other.
