Neither are we to set our mind on those, that are1 lawful, as on apparel, goods, nor meats, and drinks &c. We must use this world as if we loved it ⟨p. 166⟩not. For these are so contrary that one cannot love them, but we must hate the other, no man can serve God, and Mammon, Math. 6. 24,

Objection. The reason. If we be truly dead, then we must1 needs taste and savour of these. For as CHRIST after death rose again, so if sin be dead in you, then you will rise to the taste of the things in heaven, and the reason why we love this world so, is because we have no hope of a better, and therefore are loath to leave this. And here also because it may be said, the Colossians are subject to troubles, besides the sins that they carry about with them.
