Thereby you shall be able for to want, and to part with the world with ease: I know how to want, saith Paul, and I know how to abound. Truly give me but this grace, and I will speak with Paul; give me but this grace, to use the world as if I used it not, and I will say with him, Now I know how to want, and how to abound: If you use your Relation as if you used it not, you will part with your Relation more easily; if you use your Land as if you used it not, you will part with it more easily: Christians, parting times are coming, the Lord knows how soon we may be parted from the bosom of our dearest ⟨p. 154⟩Relations, and from all our enjoyments that we have here; would you part easily when the parting blow shall come?

Thereby you shall be able for to want, and to part with the world with ease: I know how to want, saith Paul, and I know how to abound. Truly give me but this grace, and I will speak with Paul; give me but this grace, to use the world as if I us'd it not, and I will say with him, Now I know how to want, and how to abound: If you use your Relation as if you us'd it not, you will part with your Relation more easily; if you use your Land as if you us'd it not, you will part with it more easily: Christians, parting times are coming, the Lord knows how soon we may be parted from the bosom of our dearest ⟨p. 154⟩Relations, and from all our enjoyments that we have here; would you part easily when the parting blow shall come? Now use the world as if you us'd it not: now use the world as if you us'd it not.
