God would have the sum and substance of a Christians Spiritual circumspection to be his Souls salvation, not his Souls destruction. Oh, that we should be so serious as to trifles, and trifle as to that which is so serious! Luke 12. 21. Thou fool, this night, &c. Shall I be so serious as to houses and riches which have been destroyed by Fire, and not as to a soul which may be burnt with Fire in hell? What folly would it have been for any in the late fiery calamity to regard his Lumber, and not at all his Jewels, Mat. 16 26. That person must needs come home by weeping Cross, that hath seemingly it may be secured his Estate in houses, but not his Estate in God; the Soul of his Estate, but not the Estate of his Soul. I pray let it not be said of you, Christians, that you should be Penny-wise, and Pound-foolish. Be wise unto sobriety is the Apostles expression; |
