Secondly, They Fill the Heart with Love, and the Love 1of the world shuts out the Love of the father, as the Apostle speaks. When the Heart goes after covetousness, the power and obedience of the word is shut quite out.2 They will not do thy words, saith the Lord to the Prophet, for their heart goeth after their covetousness. A dear and superlative Love, such as the Gospel ever requires (for a man must love Christ upon such terms as to be ready without consultation or demur, not to forsake only, but to hate father and mother, and wife, and any the choicest worldly endearments for his Gospels sake) I say such a Love admits of no Corrivalty or competition. And therefore the love of the world must needs extinguish the love of the word.
