VERS. XXVIII.
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉;
What shall we do that we might work the works of God?
OBserve first the rule about Workmen or Labourers. i 1.1〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉It is granted by the allowance of the Law, that the Labourer shall eat of those things, where∣in he laboureth. If he works in the Vintage, let him eat of the Grapes; if in gathering the Fig-trees, let him eat of the Figs; if in the Harvest, let him eat of the ears of the Corn, &c.
Nay further 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉It is lawful for the workman to eat of those things wherein he worketh, a Melon, to the value of a Peny; and Dates to the value of a peny, &c.
Compare these passages with what our Saviour speaks, Labour, saith he, for that meat which endureth to everlasting life. Now what is that work of God which we should do, that might entitle us to eat of that Food? Believe in Christ, and ye shall feed on him.
