Moreover, the Lord with his resurrection hath taught us, that we also should lift up our minds into heaven, seeking no salvation at all upon earth, seeing that heaven is our right native country. Therefore ought we to use the world, as though we used it not,1 and to direct all our care and thought unto heavenly things. For Paul saith to the Colossians:2 set your affection on things which are above, & not on things which are on earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in god.3 Item to the Philippians: our dwelling is in heaven, from whence we look for the saviour, even Jesus christ our lord.
Moreouer, the Lord with his resurrectiō hath taught vs, that we also shuld lift vp our mindes into heauen, seking no saluation at all vpon earth, seing that heauen is our right natiue country. Therefore oughte we to vse the world, as though we vsed it not,1 and to directe all oure care and thoughte vnto heauenly things. For Paule sayth to the Colossians:2 set your affectiō on things which are aboue, & not on thīgs which are on earth. For ye are deade, and your life is hid wyth Christ in god.3 Item to the Philippians: our dwelling is in heauen, from whence we loke for ye sauior, euē Iesus christ our lord.
