Qu. 3. Ask them whether reason require not every man, to think more seriously of the place or state where he must be for ever, than of that where he must be but for a little while, and from whence he is posting day and night. And whether it be not wiser to lay up our treasure where we must stay, than where we must not stay, but daily look to be called away, and never more be seen on earth? Math. 6. 19, 20. 2 Cor. 4. 16, 17, 18. and 5. 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8.
Qu. 4. Ask them whether God should not be loved with all our heart and soul and might? Math. 22. 37. And whether it be not the mark of an ungodly miscreant, to be a lover of pleasure more ⟨image 12⟩than God, 2. Tim. 3. 4. and a Lover of this world above him? 1 Joh. 2. 15, 16. And whether we must not seek first Gods Kingdom and his Righteousness, Matth. 6. 33. and labour most for the meat that never perisheth, Joh. 6. 27. and strive to enter in at the strait Gate, Luke 13. 24. and give all diligence to make our Calling and Election sure? 2. Pet. 1. 10.
