The sloathful Christian, reproved. [ 852]

MAjor Lepidus, a loose Roman, whilst his Camerades, upon a very hot day were exercised in the Army,* 1.1 he laid himselfe down in the shade, saying, Utinam hoc esset laborare, I would this were all the duty that I were to do: So it may be said of many idle, sloathfull Christians amongst us; such as with Balaam, wish to dye the death of the Righteous, but they will not take any care to live the life of the Righteous; they would fain enter in at the straight Gate, but they would be loath to croud for it; they have longing desires to be in the Church triumphant, which is in Heaven, but care not whether they ever make a step or nor into that which is militant here upon earth.
