2. The way to Heaven is hard,¹ and this ⟨p. 54⟩you were told at first: Mat. 7.14. Because strait is the Gate and narrow is the way, that leadeth unto life. If you like it not, let it alone, but see you exchange for the better. To get a Kingdom is not easy, its easy to lose one. Who gets a race without sweating, or a victory without bleeding, or Heaven without striving? Hence Mr. Latimer to one that objects against the duty he was pressing, (which was that Landlords should send for their Tenants and end differences among them) that this were a good work indeed, but marvellous hard. O saith he, my friend, It is an hard matter to be a Christian. Heaven was never gotten yet without violence, and there is no new way found of coming there. But if Christ Jesus had not done harder work than this for thee, thou must never have come there.
