soul-sequestering

Updated: May 1, 2025

Now this desire, as I said, is a desire that hath a long neck; for it can look over the brazen wall of this, quite into another world; and as it hath a long neck, so it is very forcible and mighty in its operation. This desire makes a married man live as if he had no wife; a rich man lives as if he possessed not what he has, &c. This is a soul-sequestering desire.
