3. In the management of this work, we must measure our actions by Gods word, and refer them to his glory. By Gods word, Psal. 119. 105. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my paths.

4. Death shall not prevent us, till we have ended our appointed service. As long as God hath work for us to do, he will maintain life and strength. Gal. 1. 15. Who separated me from my mothers womb, and called me by his grace. The decree taketh date from the womb. God frames parts and temper: God rocketh us in our cradles, taketh care of us in our Infancy, and all the turns of our lives.
5. If God will use us to a great age, we must be content. You may adorn your profession, and bring forth fruit in old age. The longest life is too short to honour God.
