§. Sect. 5 That they must be direct∣ed to right ends.
Thirdly, as our labours must arise from these causes, so they must bee directed to right ends. As first and principally to Gods glory, which in * 1.1 all wee doe, wee must labour to aduance. Neither is God onely glori∣fied when wee professe and practise religious duties, but also when wee walk conscionably in our callings, and with all diligence performe the du∣ties required in them in obedience to his Commandements. Secondly, we must propound vnto our selues in them the good of the Church and Common wealth, which wee are to preferre before our owne priuate, and so carry our selues in all things, as that we may be profitable mem∣bers in these societies. In which regard wee must not seeke to gaine by the common losse, but neglect our owne particular, when as it will not stand with the publike and generall good. Thirdly, we must in all our la∣bours ayme so at our owne profit, as that we ioyne therewith the welfare and benefit of our neighbours, whom by the Law of charity wee are to loue as wee loue our selues; and not raise our gaine out of their losse and disaduantage, as it is the common custome of the world. But as wee pro∣fesse our selues members of the same body, so must wee, as becommeth members, ayme chiefly at the preseruation of the whole, and then at the ioynt good one of another, not thinking those goods well gotten, which are raysed and gayned out of our neighbours losse.
