§. 3. All the Kingdoms of the Earth can neither satisfie, nor justifie all our Appetites and Desires. But the Kingdom of Heaven (expressed here by eternal life ) will be sure to do Both. For if we are Covetous, Here are Riches to make it lawful. If we are Amorous, Here is Beauty to make it Vertuous. If we are Ambitious, Here is Glory to make it Good. For we must know that our Affections receive their Guilt, or Vitiosity, not from their strength, but from their blindness, when they are either double-sighted, and look asquint; or else are short-sighted, and cannot see a far off; they embrace those things for fair or pleasant, which (like Ixion 's watery Iuno ) do only mock them with their Injoyment. Whereas were our Affections so Eagle-sighted, as to see through the Creatures, discerning Happiness in its Hypostasis, and flying at it where it is, our only fault would then be This, That our Ambition is too low, and our Avarice too little, |
