SERMON V.
WE have thus heard of the place whither the young son carried his estate, telling us that wicked men love to have the greatest advantage to sin without any restraint: We might also have taken notice of the comparison which is used in the text to illustrate his Apostasy, viz. a journey, he took his journey: or went a Pilgrimage: whence we may take notice of this.
