Another thinks he is no worldling, because he hath some thoughts of heaven and is loth to be damned when he can keep the world no longer, and prays often, and perhaps fasts with the Pharisee twice a week, and gives alms often, and pays tithes, and wrongs no man.[25 But the Pharisees were covetous for all these, Luke 16:14. The question is not whether you think of heaven, and do something for it? But whether it be heaven or earth which you seek first, and make the end of all things else, which all are referred to? Every worldling knows that he must die, and therefore he would have heaven at last for a reserve, rather than hell. |
