LEIGHTON.

The heart may be engaged in a little business, as much, if thou watch

it not, as in many and great affairs. A man may drown in a little

brook or pool, as well as in a great river, if he be down and plunge

himself into it, and put his head under water. Some care thou must

have, that thou mayest not care. Those things that are thorns indeed,

thou must make a hedge of them, to keep out those temptations that

accompany sloth, and extreme want that waits on it; but let them be

the hedge; suffer them not to grow within the garden.
