Fifteenthly, 1It is dangerous for a Man that climbs up a high Ladder, that reacheth to Heaven to look backwards.
- 1'Tis dangerous to look back.
So nothing is more dangerous for a Person that makes a Profession of Religion, (then with the Young Man in the Gospel) who was not far from the Kingdom of Heaven, to look back; He that sets his Hand to the Plough, 1and looks back, is not fit for the Kingdom of Heaven. Our blessed Lord bids us Remember Lot's Wife;2 why so? She, alas! for looking back, was turned into a Pillar of Salt, as an everlasting monument of God's Displeasure; and to fore-warn all Persons to take heed that they do not look back: If any Man draw back, my Soul shall take no pleasure in him. Nay, such God's Soul abhors,3 it brings upon them his high Displeasure, which is Death; or it will procure Death, and Perdition on all such in the end.
