Sixthly, God gives me abundance of the Creature: but 1what is it that makes the difference between me and others? others there are that are empty enough, their bellies are empty, their houses empty, their cupboards empty; but I am filled, Why should God deal thus with me rather than with others?
- 16.
Again, I come to enjoy abundance here in the Creature: 1But is there not danger, is there not a snare in what I do enjoy? have not I a naughty vile heart? How if these should prove to be temptations to me to draw my heart from God; were I not better be without them? It's made (in the Epistle of Jude, 12. vers.) an argument of one that is carnal and wicked, that he doth feast without fear, he falls upon what is before him and fills himself, but without fear; whereas we should never enjoy fullness in the world, but we should mix fear with it: these thoughts should make us fear the snare that there may be in abundance.
