2 By persuading us, that it is a cumbersome and toilsome matter, a great hinderance to our honour and promotion, our gain, our ease and pleasure, &c. Thus did he deceive Esau, who is therefore called profane, not regarding to be of the Church: and Demas, 2 Tim. 4.10. Thus doth he deceive the most in these times. To avoid this, we must consider the fruits and issue, rather then the present inconveniences. For no armour is like unto apparel to be worn for pleasure. But if we have an eye unto the issue, all the troubles that we can endure, are not worthy the bl•ssed fruits that we shall reap of it, Rom. 8.18. 2 Cor. 4.17. Esa. 3.10.
