Proverbs 20:13

in business be not slothful, but of an active mind, making the best use of every incident.

Consider likewise the present season, that now it is high time to rouse out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we first believed.

rouze from your sins, as is but just; for some of you have not the knowledge of God: I speak it to your shame.

wherefore 'tis said, " awake thou that sleepest, arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light."

pursuant to the maxim, which we laid down, when among you, "he that refuses to work should be deny'd food."
