1 AS it is a fearful thing to hasten to do evil, and to linger to an evil thing is an1 holy lingering: so it is a blessed thing to hasten to godliness, and to make speed to a good thing, is a hastiness very godly, Psal. 42. Psal. 95. Elisha must not salute any body in the way: the Apostles must not commune with any in their journey, and why? They must make haste to do the will of God. It is profitable to make haste to heaven; but it is no wisdom to make haste to hell: and yet to do well, we find a Lion in the streets; but to do evil, nothing can stay us He that evil come to heaven must make haste: for the kingdom of God *must be taken violently: he must be like those wise virgins not lingering to get oil, nor delaying •o furnish themselves with the graces of God against the coming of Christ.
