But he that at every sleep, looks at every stop, and numbers his perils with his paces, either turns aside faintly, or turns back cowardly. They that go wandering & wondering on their journey, are at the gates of Samaria, ⟨p. 256⟩when they should enter the gates of Jerusalem. God saith, I will not leave you, Heb. 13. Will you then leave GOD? 1One told Socrates, that he would fain go to Olympus, but he distrusted his sufficiency for the length of the journey. Socrates told him; Thou walkest every day little or much, continue this walk forward thy way, and a few days shall bring thee to Olympus. Every day every man takes some pains; let him bestow that measure of pains in travelling to heaven; and the further he goes, the more heart he gets; till at last he enter through the gates into the City.
