208. Religion allows none to be idle; he that will not labour, must ⟨p. 52⟩not eat; in Religion, as well as any calling else, we must work for our living: God hath not promised to work for them that play.

He that is found a faithful and welldoing servant, will find a Well done good and faithful servant, enter thou into thy Masters joy; but of the wicked, slothful, and unprofitable servant 'tis said, Cast ye him into utter darkness.
