There are many Remora's in this world, that hinder the good speed of Christian endeavours. Would Herod hear and obey John Baptists preaching? He hath a Remora that hinders him, Herodias. Would Nicodemus fain come to Christ? Fear of the Jews is his Remora. Would Paul come to Thessalonica? The Devil is his Remora. We would have come to you once and again, but Satan hindered us. Yea even ¹doth Christ Jesus purpose in his infinite mercy to suffer for us, and pre-acquaint his Apostles with it? Even Peter will be his Remora. Master favour thy ⟨p. 31⟩²self. This shall not be unto thee. Hath that forward young-man any good mind to follow Christ? The parting with his goods to the poor is his Remora. Would you have him that is rich follow poverty?
