Mateo 22:5

5 But they made light of it , and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:

Ver. 5. But they made light of it ] God’s rich offers are still slighted and critized; and most men turn their backs upon those blessed and bleeding embracements of his, as if heaven were not worth hearkening after;

" ... Paris ut vivat regnetque beatus

Cogi posse negat ".-Horat, Ephesians 2:10 .

One to his farm, another to his merchandise ] Licitis perimus omnes, More die by food than poison. Worldliness is a great handicap to faith, though men cannot be charged with any great covetousness. See that ye shift not off him that speaketh to you from heaven,Hebrews 12:25; Hebrews 12:25 .
