wage_n which_o god_n will_v give_v his_o servant_n at_o the_o last_o day_n and_o the_o unspeakable_a astonish_a disproportion_n those_o wage_n bare_a to_o the_o work_n which_o they_o do_v for_o it_o o_o the_o wonderful_a lenity_n and_o bounty_n of_o god_n towards_o they_o for_o much_o ill_n do_v they_o have_v a_o little_a temporal_a chastisement_n and_o for_o a_o little_a well_o do_v aninfinite_a

in_o this_o life_n math_n 19.29_o but_o infinite_o more_o than_o a_o hundred_o time_n a_o hundred_o now_o what_o man_n can_v for_o shame_n say_v he_o have_v hard_a service_n when_o for_o a_o pennyworth_n of_o work_n perhaps_o bad_o do_v his_o master_n out_o of_o love_n he_o bear_v he_o or_o upon_o his_o son_n entreaty_n or_o because_o he_o endeavour_v only_o to_o give_v he_o content_a shall_v give_v he_o a_o estate_n great_a enough_o to_o maintain_v he_o as_o long_o as_o he_o live_v much_o more_o than_o shall_v it_o be_v a_o shame_n but_o to_o think_v it_o hard_a service_n when_o for_o a_o little_a do_v in_o all_o so_o as_o it_o be_v and_o nothing_o at_o all_o so_o as_o it_o shall_v be_v my_o master_n notwithstanding_o as_o if_o i_o have_v do_v whatsoever_o be_v my_o duty_n

1_o pet_n 1.4_o doubtless_o all_o godly_a man_n have_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o comfort_n and_o joy_n even_o in_o their_o action_n to_o think_v of_o their_o end_n and_o the_o reward_n and_o profit_n wherewith_o they_o be_v crown_v and_o indeed_o their_o condition_n will_v be_v as_o comfortless_o if_o they_o have_v not_o such_o thought_n as_o it_o will_v be_v miserable_a if_o they_o have_v no_o reward_n the_o wicked_a can_v take_v comfort_n in_o their_o action_n if_o it_o be_v for_o nothing_o but_o this_o that_o though_o they_o do_v not_o know_v that_o they_o can_v profit_v yet_o they_o do_v not_o know_v that_o they_o can_v or_o will_n the_o knowledge_n of_o this_o and_o the_o thought_n thereof_o be_v of_o great_a concernment_n to_o cause_v a_o man_n cheerfulness_n in_o work_v for_o what_o shall_v one_o labour_v for_o the_o wind_n yet_o so_o the_o wicked_a do_v which_o will_v be_v their_o complaint_n one_o day_n against_o themselves_o among_o other_o thing_n what_o have_v pride_n

man_n will_v be_v merry_a in_o good_a company_n if_o ever_o they_o will_v be_v merry_a and_o most_o man_n will_v say_v the_o more_o the_o merry_a a_o bruit_n creature_n though_o his_o work_n be_v
