SERMON XI.
MATTH. XXV. v. 14, 15. For the Kingdom of Heaven is as a Man travelling into a far Country, who called his own Servants, and delivered to them his Goods. And unto one he gave five Talents, to another two, to another one; to every one according to his several ability.

THE particle [for] showeth that this Parable hath some connection with the former. We have but two great Affairs in the World; the one to promote Gods glory, the other to save our own Souls: Or in other words, To be faithful to God and wise for our selves. This latter was taught us in the former Parable; the wise and provident Virgins made sufficient preparation for their reception into the Nuptial Feast: The other, faithfulness to God, in employing our Gifts, Talents and Opportunities for his glory, is taught in this Parable. Therefore the drift of it is, to set us all a-work in our Places and Callings for the Glory of God, that we may look Christ in the Face at his Coming. For the Kingdom of Heaven, &c.
