Who are the most desperate enemies to the Cross of Christ, but such whose God is their belly, Phil. 3. ⟨p. 123⟩18, 19. Who are they that cannot cease from sin, but such as sport themselves with their own deceivings, 1while they feast amongst you, having eyes full of adultery? 2 Pet. 2. 13, 14. Who are those that are wholly void of the Spirit, and even uncapable of it? such as walk after their own ungodly lusts, and sensual, Jude 18, 19. Who are they that say to God, Depart from us, we desire not the knowledge of thy ways, but such as take the Timbrel and Harp, and rejoice at the sound of the Organ, and spend their days in wealth? Job 21. 11, 12, 13. Pleasures do not so much delight the flesh, as they endanger the soul; therefore better it is a great deal to be preserved in brine, then to rot in honey, to be fed upon the salt marshes, and short commons, and to live, then to be glutted in rank pastures, and so fatted up for destruction.2
