Both Worlds Lost

"How absurd the conduct of the mere professor. He takes great pains, and gets nothing for it but greater guilt and heavier condemnation. He has too much conscience to neglect religion entirely, and too little : to make thorough work of it; and thus he loses both I worlds. Religion does not, and the world cannot, make him happy; and all this happens in consequence of his trying to be, what he never can be—a lover of this world, and a lover of God too."
