Luke13:24-25

Verse 24. strive to [illegible: 1 word] ] Strive even to an agony; or as they [non-Latin text not transcribed]. did for the garland in the Olympick games, to the which the word here used seemeth to allude. All would come to heaven, but all like not the way; they would not per angusta ad augusta pervenire: they like well of Abrahams bosome, but not of Dives his doore. But let none think to live in Dalilahs lap, and then to rest in Abraham; bosome, to dance with the Devill all day, and then to [illegible: 1 word] with Christ at night; to fly to heaven with pleasant wings, to passe a deliciis ad delicias, e coeno ad coelum, &c. to goe to heaven in a feather-bed.
