10And I said, It is so, Lord. Then said he vnto me, Euen so also is Israels portion: 11Because for their sakes I made the world: and when Adam transgressed my Statutes, then was decreed that now is done. 12Then were the entrances of this world made narrow, full of sorrow and trauaile: they are but few and euill, full of perils, and very painefull. 13For the entrances of the elder world were wide and sure, and brought immortall fruit. 14If then they that liue, labour not to enter these strait and vaine things, they can neuer receiue those that are laide vp for them.
