[ 1977] No pains to be thought too much for the
getting of Heaven.
IT is almost incredible to believe how they that travell in long pilgrimages to
the Holy Land, What a number of weary paces they measure, What a num∣ber
of hard lodgings and known dangers they passe, and at last when they come
to the view of their journies end, what a large tribute they pay at the Pisan Ca∣stle
to the Turks; And when they are come thither, what see they? but the
bare Sepulchre wherein their Saviour lay, and the Earth that he trod upon to
the encrease of their carnall devotion; O but then, what labour should every
descriptionPage 669
Christian willingly undertake in his journey to the true Land of Promise, the ce∣lestial
Ierusalem, where he shall both see and enjoy his Saviour himself? What
tribute of pain or death should he refuse to pay for his entrance, not into his Se∣pulchre, but his Palace of glory, and that not barely to look upon it but really to
possesse it.
