3. If you love the world, you may love that which may hinder you from Heaven. Worldly contentments may be compared to the Waggons in an Army; while the Soldiers have been victualling themselves at the Waggons, they ⟨p. 124⟩have lost the Battle, Mark 10.23. How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the Kingdom of God? Prosperity to ma•y, is like the sail to the Boat, which quickly overturns it: So that by loving the world, you may love that which will endanger you*, but if you love God, there is no fear of losing Heaven; he will be a Rock to hide you, but not to hurt you: By loving him we come to enjoy him.
