What were the affections of the greatest multitude that followed the gospel in the former rest and abundance, is easy to be judged, if the life and conversation of every man should have been thoroughly examined : for who lived, in that rest, as though he had refused t himself? Who lived in that rest, as though he had been crucified with Christ ? Who lived in that rest, as though he had certainly looked for trou- ble to come upon him ? Yea, who lived not rather in deli- cacy and joy, seeking the... world and the pleasures thereof, caring for the flesh and carnal appetites, as though death and sin had been quite devoured ? And what was this else, than to make of Christ an earthly king? The word that we pro- fessed, daily cried in our ears, That our kingdom, our joy, our rest, and felicity, neither was, is, nor should be upon the earth, neither in any transitory thing thereof, but in heaven, " into which we must enter by many tribulations. " But, alas ! we slept in such security, that the sound of the trumpet could never be perfectly understood by many, but we always persuaded ourselves of a certain tranquillity, as though ihe troubles, whereof mention is made in the scriptures of God, appertained not at all to this age, but unto such as of long time are passed before us; and there- fore was our heavenly Father compelled to withdraw from us the presence of his verity, whose voice in those days we could not believe, to the end that more earnestly we may thirst for the same, and with more obedience embrace and receive it, if ever it shall please his infinite goodness in such abundance to restore the same again.
