10 Behold, A sweet Encouragement unto the Praise of GOD. If the Praise of GOD, (or the Work of Religion) be our main Business, or chief Delight; if we love to be at this Work; the Work will endure forever. We shall, ••ver be taken off. Our Employment with Satisfaction in that Work, will be upon us a Token for Good, that we shall be employed in that Work in another World, and World without end. Yea, and in this World if our Hearts be in this Work, we shall never want Occasions. The Work will endure forever, by a continual renewal of Occasions for it.
