Away with ⟨p. 405⟩that coldness of heart, that like Northern cloth shrinks in the wetting, I mean in the floods of persecution. Away with that thin-danw'd profession, that like mowen grass withers in the sun, with the heat of prosperity. Let us deny our own worth, and become nothing in our selves, that we may be wholly all in CHRIST. The poor man depends not upon the relief of others, till he find nothing at home. Until our hearts be purged of pride and self-love, we never depend on the favour of God. Be every thing denied that is not in ordine ad Deum, and hath no relation to Jesus Christ. Let us deny our pleasures, deny our lusts, deny our wills, deny our covetous desires, deny our seducing friends, deny our selves: but let us never deny the Lord that bought us. To this blessed Lord of our redemption, with the Father of our creation, and the Spirit of our adoption, three Persons and one most holy God, be praise and glory for ever, Amen.
Away with ⟨p. 405⟩that coldnesse of heart, that like Northerne cloth shrinkes in the wetting, I meane in the flouds of persecution. Away with that thin-danw'd profession, that like mowen grasse withers in the sunne, with the heate of prosperitie. Let us deny our owne worth, and become nothing in our selves, that wee may bee wholly all in CHRIST. The poore man depends not upon the reliefe of others, till he find nothing at home. Vntill our hearts be purged of pride and selfe-love, we never depend on the favour of God. Be every thing denyed that is not in ordine ad Deum, and hath no relation to Iesus Christ. Let us deny our pleasures, deny our lusts, deny our wills, deny our covetous desires, deny our seducing friends, deny our selves: but let us never deny the Lord that bought us. To this blessed Lord of our redemption, with the Father of our creation, and the Spirit of our adoption, three Persons and one most holy God, be praise and glory for ever, Amen.
