Pilgrim's Progress §355: Ignorance's hope, and the ground of it IGNOR.
pilgrims progress
Ignorance's hope, and the ground of it IGNOR. I hope well; for I am always full of good motions, that come into my mind, to comfort me as I walk. CHR. What good motions? pray, tell us. IGNOR. Why, I think of God and heaven. CHR. So do the devils and damned souls. IGNOR. But I think of them and desire them. CHR. So do many that are never like to come there. "The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing." IGNOR. But I think of them, and leave all for them. CHR. That I doubt; for leaving all is a hard matter: yea, a harder matter than many are aware of. But why, or by what, art thou persuaded that thou hast left all for God and heaven.
