See the folly of of this objection: What 1is the main business of life, but looking after the soul? and for men to say they are so immersed in the world, that they cannot mind their souls, is most absurd and irrational. This is to make the greater give way to the less. As if an Husbandman should say, he is so busy in angling, or looking after his Bees, that he hath no time to plough or sow. What is his occupation but ploughing? Such a madness is it to hear men say, they are so taken up about the world, that they have no time for their souls.
