John Trapp on Matthew 19:22

Verse 22. He went away sorrowfull] That [illegible: 1 word] should require that, which he was not willing to perform. If heaven be to be had upon no other terms, Christ may keep his heaven to himself; hee'l have none. How many have we now [illegible: 1 word], that must be gainers by their religion, which must be another Diana to the [illegible: 1 word]. They are resolved howsoever to loose nothing, suffer nothing, but rather kick up all: Jeroboamo gravior [illegible: 1 word] regionis quam religionis. The King of Navarre told [illegible: 1 word], that in the cause of Religion he would launch no further into the sea, then he might be sure to return safe to the haven. A number of such Politick professours we have, that come to Christ (as this young man did) hastily, but depart heavily, when once it comes to a whole-sale of all for Christ, which yet is the first lesson, the removens prohibens.
