CAP. III.
Rebuke to divers sorts, whose spirits are not full in following after the Lord.
IF thus to follow the Lord fully, be so excellent, if this fullness of spirit be such an honour unto ⟨p. 318⟩Gods people, then justly are those rebuked, whose spirits are not full in following the Lord, who acknowledge the Lord worthy to be followed, but their spirits are slight and vain, their hearts are straitened in the ways of the Lord; they do not fill up this blessed work of following after the Lord; their hearts do most basely fall, and most miserably vanish in it.
