Use diligence.

The Greek word is originally de∣rived from a word that signifies to make haste. * 1.1 Diligence is neither slow nor slothfull. The weight of the mat∣ter requiring hast commands diligence. The cure of spirituall distractions is ••ot to be deferred. No time is to be ••eglected, when the rents of the soul ••re to be repaired. Scruples of con∣••cience must be suddainly removed. They are not worth house room. 〈◊〉〈◊〉 green wound is easily healed, but ••ime alone is sufficient to make it in∣••urable. Those scruples that at first ••ight have been easily blasted, in pro∣••••sse of time may grow to such a flame,

that no water can quench them. Health encreaseth by labour, but wounds and sicknesse grow by idlenesse. Haste there∣fore and diligence are requisite, where pangs of conscience are to be re∣moved.
