Baxter gave an elaborate response to this temptation in the latter part of the volume. That specific part of the text is Chapter 4, Part 6. That is still too far from my current reading (Chapter 1, Part

Here is a simplified version of such a distraction: The Tempter will try to keep people so busy with worries, ambitions, and daily work that they will have no time to seriously think about spiritual matters.

Even I myself could respond to this temptation. I see the bias and unreasonability of the temptation. Describing the godly life as difficult and useless, as if the alternative is useful and easy. The way

Here's how Baxter describes this temptation: Living a godly life is so difficult and tiresome that, even if you start, you will never be able to continue. Therefore, the Tempter says it is useless to try.

So far, revisiting the text, I am reminded that the subject of the 30 temptations is about the numerous ways the Enemy of humanity prevents men from experiencing the state of grace.

Paraphrasing Baxter's response to the above temptation, he said that such a temptation betrays someone's ignorance of the path that they mock. People who ridicule such a faith have never tried and tested
