Snap 33 is about temptation 12. Here, Baxter explains the nature of this temptation as distraction.

Sort:  

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.

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 2, Section 1).
