John Trapp on Luke 14:19

Verse 19. I have bought five yoke of Oxen] This answers those that plead their necessities, and that they seek not [illegible: 1 word], (as farm upon farm, &c.) but only a sufficiency. What could be more necessary then Oxen, sith without them he could not follow his husbandry? Worldlinesse is a great hinderance to heaven, though a man cannot be charged with any great covetousnesse. These all excused themselves out of heaven, by bringing apologies why they could not go to heaven. Never yet any came to hell, but had some pretence for their coming thither. Our vile hearts will perswade us that there is some sense in sinning, and some reason to be mad.
