412. He that seekes trouble never misses. - George Herbert

Then they labour anxiously, when they overdo it, to the loss of their quiet and health: then distrustfully, when they doubt God's providence, thinking that their own labour is the cause of their thriving, as if it were in their own hands to thrive or not to thrive. Then they labour profanely, when they set themselves to work like brute beasts, never raising their thoughts to God, nor sanctifying their labour with daily prayer; when on the Lord's day they do unnecessary servile work,

For if I wimp my wing on thine. Affliction shall advance the flight in me.

105. Deceive not thy physitian, confessor, nor lawyer.
