Book Three, Chapter 3
That the Words of God Are To Be Heard with Humility, and That Many Weigh Them Not

For a scanty sustenance, men run a great way; for eternal life, many will scarce lift foot once from the ground.  A petty gain is sought after; for a single coin sometimes men shamefully quarrel; for men will brave toil day and night, yea, for some mere trifle or a slight promise.  But, alas! for an unchangeable good, for an inestimable reward, for the highest honor and never-ending glory, they are loath to undergo a little fatigue.  Blush, then, you slothful, querulous servant, that they are actually more ready to labor for death than you for life.
