First, I shall a little farther speak to this, and shew you what that man doth that doth use the world as if he used it not. And secondly, give you some means.
First of all for that, what that man doth, that doth use the world as if he used it not?
1. He will be sure to use Grace in the use of the world, and in all his dealings in the world, and the things thereof. He is never satisfied unless he doth see that he doth use Grace in the use of the world, and the things thereof.
2. He is always ready to give up that part of the world unto God wherein his affections are most engaged, His Isaac; for saith he, God doth use to try his people in the things wherein they do most delight: And therefore still he is upon that, ready to give up that unto God wherein his affections are the most engaged.
