JOH. 15. Love not this world (the corrupt estate of mankind out of Christ,) neither the things that are in the world (for first of all, to give reasons,) if any man love this World, the love of the father (wherewith he loved the Father) is not in him. (Secondly,) 16. For all that is in this world, as the lust of the flesh (the corruption of nature, which chiefly breaketh out in evil concupiscence) the lust of the eyes (the fruit of the former, stirred up by outward provocations, especially in the eye, as it is manifest in Adultery & covetousness) and the pride of life (uz. Arrogance and Ambition, among men, in common conversation of life,) is not of the father, but of the world. 17. And (Thirdly) this world passeth away and the lust thereof: but he that fulfilleth the will of God, abideth for ever.
