5 Heady violence vvill be discouraged in religion by small difficulties. Such was the violence of that man forementioned, that was earnest to come to Christ, but when Christ told him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests, but the son of man hath not where to lay his head, Matth. 8. 20 his zeal was abated. But an holy violence 1is quickened, not abated by opposition. Joh 32. 19. Behold, my belly is as wine which 2hath no vent, it is ready to burst like new bottles.
