Caution 2 2 Take heed you do not think you shall ever go to heaven without this holy zeal and violence. It was only the violent in John Baptists days that took heaven. You can never go to heaven except you strive to enter in at the strait gate. You must strive till you sweat, you must strive with all your might, and all will be little enough. Take heed therefore you do not think it an easy thing to go to heaven. But withal take this, though you cannot go to heaven without this holy violence, you shall never go to heaven for it. James 1. 25. Whosoever 1looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer of the Word, but a doer also, this man shall be blessed in his deed. So that you see a man ⟨p. 48⟩shall not go to heaven for his doing, though he cannot go to heaven without it.
