Looking Unto Jesus - A View of the Everlasting Gospel, or the Soul's Eyeing of Jesus, as Carrying on the Great Work of Man's Salvation, From First to Last #272409

Doct. I. But first, we must look off all other things, the note is this, We must take oflc our mind from every thing which might divert us in our Christian race from looking unto Jesus. Aphorontes, the first word, or first piece of a word in my text, speaks to us thus, hands off, Or eyes off from anything that stands in the way of Jesus Christ. I remember it was written over Plato's door, There's none may come hither that is not a geometer. But on the door of my text is written clean contrary: N o earthly-minded man must enter here. Not any thing in the world, be it ever so excellent, if it stand in the way of Jesus Christ, is to be named the same day; we must not give a look,' or squint at anything that may hinder this fair and lovely sight Of Jesus.
