I remember it's a speech of a learned man, even upon this very Scripture, saith he, Where men see not present gain coming in, they despise Christ there. It's a speech of Jernovius, 1Where they may have to eat for the present, there they may be easily brought to believe such a way of service and worship that is countenanced, by the State for the present, Numb. 7. 9. 2 Sam. 6. God allowed no Cart to the children of Kohath to carry the Ark, and that was their sin in putting it upon one, 1 Sam. 6. And where men may enjoy certain comings in whether they work or no, or whether they work negligently or no, there's a great temptation lies in this; there's not such a temptation lies in a mans enjoying encouragement if it be upon uncertainties, and that he shall have it no longer than he doth labour, and labour to purpose; but when men shall have their estates coming in in a certain way though they labour by themselves, or other, or though negligently, or industriously, here's a great temptation in this.
