Strangers likewise in the esteem of the 1world. The world used them as strangers, strangely. When a man leaveth the world and cleaveth to God; presently the world setteth on him by reproaches, and all they can; because they think he will disgrace them by his change; therefore they labour to make him, as black as they may that way: they use all strangely that break from them. God will have it so: because he will have his children not to love the world, therefore he will have the world hate them. So they are strangers in that respect, they think it strange that they do not as they did formerly; that they do not as they do, wicked men think it strange that they run not with them into the same excess of riot: so, they are strangers in the esteem of wicked men.
