Heaven taken

4. Men leave off their former violence, and prove Judases and Devils be cause they love something else more than Religion. There is some lust or other their heart is engaged to and ⟨p. 111⟩their violence for sin hath destroyed their violence for Religion. Solyman the great Turk, seeing many Christians go over to Turcism, he asked them, What moved them to turn Turks? They replied, They did it to be eased of their Taxes. They were drawn from God through the prevalency of covetousness. If there be any lust in the heart predominant, it will get head, and destroy all former zeal for Religion. Abimeleck a Bastard, destroyed threescore and ten of his Brethren upon one stone, Judg. 9. 15. If there be any lust the heart runs after, this bastard-sin will destroy threescore and ten duties; it will murder all that violence for Heaven which a man did once seem to have.
