The crucifying of the world

If you do so, God will embitter it to you in the end! and he will make it gall in your mouths, and torment to your hearts, and you shall spit it out, and be forced to confess that it is no better then you were told. I do charge you therefore in the name of the Lord, that you renounce this world without delay, and presently and effectually Crucify it to your selves. You once did it by your parents in Baptism, and you have proved false to that profession: Now do it by your selves, and stand to what you do. If it had not been a part of Christianity, you had not been called to do it then: And therefore you may understand, that it is but to be Christians indeed that I persuade you. A Christian worldling, is as mere a fiction, as a Christian Infidel. Enter now into your own hearts with a Reforming zeal. It should be the Temple of the Holy Ghost: down then with every Idol that is there erected: Whip out the buyers and sellers, and overthrow the money Tables, and suffer it not to be made a den of thieves. Down with your Diana's: Though the world worship her; God and his sanctified ones despise her. What the ungodly say of our Zion, we say of your Babel, Down with it, raze it, even to the foundation: it is a thing to be destroyed: happy is he that dasheth the brats of worldly concupiscence against the stones, Psalm 137. 7, 8, 9. Mortify your members ⟨p. 126⟩that are on earth. Crucify this your p•••ended King. Away with the world out of your hearts, it is not fit that it should there live.
