No man can serve two masters
That in which a man rests as in his last end, is master of his affections, since he takes therefrom his entire rule of life. According to Matthew 6:24, "No man can serve two masters," such, namely, as are not ordained to one another.
On the contrary, That in which a man rests as in his last end, is master of his affections, since he takes therefrom his entire rule of life. Hence of gluttons it is written (Philippians 3:19): "Whose god is their belly": viz. because they place their last end in the pleasures of the belly. Now according to Matthew 6:24, "No man can serve two masters," such, namely, as are not ordained to one another. Therefore it is impossible for one man to have several last ends not ordained to one another.
