As the children of this world are very nimble to work wickedness, so the children of light, should be as nimble to follow goodness. Judas was nimble to betray Christ, John. 13. 27. and the bad debtors, Luke. 116.2 could sit down quickly to misreckon their creditor: so let us come quickly to hear of Christ, that Christ may accept of us quickly, let us be nimble to make our account before,3 that we do not (like the foolish builder) come short of our reckoning.
