Moses of whom we spake before, was n•• when he was thus taken with the be• Glory of his Lord; he was Forty Years • so consequently was able, being a Man • ⟨p. 69⟩wisdom and Opportunity as he was, to make ••e best judgment of the things, & of the Goodness of them that was before him in the Land of ••ypt. But he, even he it was, that set that low •eem upon the Glory of Egypt as to count it •t worth the m•dling with, when he had a ht of this Lord Jesus Christ. This wicked world thinks, that the Fancies of a Heaven, and Happiness hereafter, may serve well enough take the Heart of such as either have not the world's good things to delight in; or that are ols, and know not how to delight themselves rein: But let them know again, that we have Men of all Ranks, and Qualities, that have n taken with the Glory of the Lord Jesus, & e left all to follow him: As Abel, Seth, Enoch, h, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Samuel, David, mon, and who not, that had either Wit Grace to favour heavenly things? Indeed, e stand off from Him, nor any longer d out against Him, to whom he reveals glory of his Grace.
