First, Ye may joy in it with a remiss joy, and ye may also sorrow for it with a remiss sorrow,1 ye may joy in it as if ye joyed not, and sorrow in it as if ye sorrowed not.
First, Yee may joy in it with a remisse joy, and yee may also sorrow for it with a remisse sorrow,1 yee may joy in it as if yee ioyed not, and sorrow in it as if yee sorrowed not.
Secondly, Ye may joy in them with a loose joy and affection; as they set loose to you, so ye may set loose to them, 1 Cor. 7.29.30.31. Brethren the time is short, it remaineth therefore that those who have wives, be as though they had none; that those that weep, be as though they wept not; that those that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and those that buy, as though they possessed not; and they that use this world, as not abusing it, That is, let your affections be loose to these things: Take any of these outward things, ye may cast your affections on them in a loose manner: go no further than this; For the fashion of the world passeth away; Ye may be taken away from it, and it from you; therefore affect it no otherwise, than a transitory thing, and with a loose and transient affection, willing to depart from it, whensoever it shall please GOD to take it from you.
Secondly, Ye may joy in them with a loose joy and affection; as they set loose to you, so yee may set loose to them, 1 Cor. 7.29.30.31
