Canst thou possess another mans goods but he will molest thee, and trouble thee until he have his own? and dost thou think to keep that which is Gods, and hold it in peace? No he will never suffer thee to rest, but cry upon thee day and night, as Moses ⟨p. 271⟩vexed Pharaoh until he let the people go;1 so thou shalt be distracted with fears▪ and thoughts,2 as one plague followed another,3 until thou let thy heart go,4 that it may serve God: for, as if a man should pull out thy heart, and take it from thee, so grievous is it to God to keep thy heart from him.
Canst thou possesse another mans goods but he will molest thee, and trouble thee vntill he haue his owne? and doost thou thinke to keepe that which is Gods, and holde it in peace? No hee will neuer suffer thee to rest, but crie vpon thee daie and night, as Moses ⟨p. 271⟩vexed Pharaoh vntil he let the people goe;1 so thou shalt bee distracted with feares▪ and thoughts,2 as one plague followed another,3 vntill thou let thy heart goe,4 that it may serue God: for, as if a man should pull out thy heart, and take it from thee, so greeuous is it to God to keep thy heart from him.
