THE WORLDLING REPROVED.

St. James, iv., 13, 14, 15.

Go to now, ye that say, To-day or to-morrow we

will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and

buy and sell, and get gain: Whereas ye know not

what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life?

It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time,

and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say,

If the LORD will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
