§. 6. 2. If you love the world best, and set your affections most on things below, and mind most earthly things; nay, if you seek not first Gods Kingdom, and the righteousness thereof, and if your hearts be not in Heaven, and your affections set on the things that are above, and you prefer not your hopes of life eternal before all the pleasures and prosperity of this world, it is a certain sign that you are but worldly and ungodly men. See this in Matth. 6. 19, 20, 21, 33. Phil. 3. 18, 19, 20. Col. 3. 1, 2, 3, 4. Psal. 73. 25. 1 John 2 15, 16, 17. James 1. 27. Luke 12. 20, 21. & 16. 25.
