The mystery hereof is, that in this world we have no place of abode, but must always be, as still going out of it. A point manifest by the line of the Patriarchs, by the Children of Israel in the Wilderness living in tents: See Heb. 11.9, 10. 2. Cor. 5. 2. Phil. 1.23. 1. Cor. 15.31. We must therefore make haste, and use the things of this world in haste, because we have a long journey to go, and know not how much time we have thereunto. To this end let us learn, as Psal. 90.12. and be as the Apostle, Phil. 3.13. where the metaphor is taken from runners, that look not unto that which they have run, but how far they have to run yet unto the mark.
