Religion is a business of the greatest importance; the Soul, which is the more Noble and Divine part, is concerned in it; and as we act our part here, so we shall be for ever happy or miserable; the advice of Solomon in this case is most seasonable; Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor wisdom in the grave whither thou goest, ⟨p. 555⟩Eccles. 9.10.
