Yet because they are dead to the world, it casts them out. So the Gergesites did cast Christ out of their borders. Math. 8. So the Pharisees did cast the Convert that was born blind, out of their Synagogue. Joh. 9. So the Antiochians did cast Paul and Barnabas 1out of their coasts. Act. 12. Like Confectioners, that throw away the juice of the Oranges, and preserve only the rinds: or as certain Chemists, that cast all good extractions to the ground, and only make much of the poison. But if you will not be picked up of the world, you must adhere close to it, and with alimental congruence please his stomach. Will you go to the Court? you must be proud, or you shall be despised.

For God forbid that I should glory, save in the Cross of 2our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
