Others see that if they should labour so after heavenly things, they must lose their liberties in sinful pleasures, which they will not by any means forgo: and contrariwise, that they must suffer reproach, and afflictions, with the children of God:2 and therefore they look not after the promise of the life to come: as Esau.
