—598 ST. LUKE.to set mammon in the place of his God ! If wemust choose one of these two masters, is there anyroom to deliberate upon the choice? It is a realslavery to love riches, to employ all our time andcare about them, and to surrender our heart to them.If we have any faith in the word of Christ, let usbelieve what he here tells us so plainly, that we cannotpossibly reconcile the love of God with the loveof money ; that God cannot bear a rival in the heartof his creature; and that we do not love God at all,if we love any thing together with him, which wedo not love for his sake.Sect. III. God abhors that "iSohich appears great.Heaven taken by violence. Marriage.*'14. f And the Pharisees also, who were covetous,heard all these things : and they derided him."Truth, when it opposes the love of worldly things,is generally treated with contempt and derision byworldly-minded men. A preacher who strikes at thedarling passions, is very unwillingly heard. Godwill, in his turn, deride and laugh at those who nowderide him and laugh at his word.It has the leastinfluence upon covetous persons of all others, becausethis passion, rendering the heart altogether earthly,extinguishes therein all faith, which has no otherobject but heavenly and invisible things.*'15. And he said unto them. Ye are they whichjustify yourselves before men ; but God knoweth yourhearts : for that which is highly esteemed among menis abomination in the sight of God."How many things do we admire which are anabomination in the sight of God ! Howdifferent
:CHAPTER XVI. 599is his judgment from that of the world ! Andyet itis this latter which men generally applaud, and darenot declare for the former. Of what advantasre is itto hypocrites, toattract on themselves praises whichare as false as their righteousness? It is the heartwhich shall be judged by him who sees the secrets ofit : it is by the heart that we must please him. Thejudgment of men will change, when that of God shallbe manifested to their eyes : and it is already mademanifest by the gospel to all those who have evangelicaleyes." 16. The law and the prophets were until Johnsince that time the kingdom of God is preached, andevery man presseth into it."It is now no longer a time for men to place theirglory and religion ina worship wholly figurative, inprophetic ceremonies, and in empty promises; sincethe kingdom typified, foretold, and promised, is establishedupon earth. It is not, therefore, a legal, external,and carnal righteousness, peculiar only to theJews, which we must now offer to God ;but a Christian,internal, and spiritual righteousness, which consistsin charity common to all nations, which alone isworthy of God and his kingdom, which alone is capableof taking it by a holy and generous violence;aninternal worship, which does not exclude the external,but supports, animates, sanctifies, and rendersit acceptable to God." IT. And it is easier for heaven and earth topass, than one tittle of the law to fail."The immutability of the divine word, in relationeither to happiness or misery, yields as much comfortto the righteous as it gives despair to the wicked.
