Ecclesiastes11:4
4 He that observeth the wind, shall not sow, and he that regardeth the clouds, shall not reap .
He who neglects or delays the necessary works of sowing and reaping, because the weather is not exactly suitable to his desires, may possibly lose his Harvest. Whereby he intimates what is easily understood out of the foregoing verses, that Men will never do good here, which is expressed by sowing, Psal. 112. 9. 2 Cor. 9. 6. and consequently not receive good hereafter, which is called reaping, Gal. 6. 7, 8. if they be discouraged and hindred from it by every doubt or difficulty, such as covetous worldlings object to themselves, that others either do not want their Charity, or will abuse it, that they may possibly need it hereafter.
