Seasonable truths in evil-times in several sermons / lately preached in and about London

Yea, thereby you shall have that which is better than all, you shall have the mind of Christ; And we hope we have the mind of Christ, saith the Apostle; we believe we have the mind of Christ: who have the mind of Christ? saith David, in Psa. 119. Lord, saith he, I am a stranger in this earth, hide not thy Commandments from me: Here's his argument, in Isa. 28. Whom shall he teach knowledge? v. 9. And whom shall he make to understand Doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts, them shall he teach knowledge, and them shall he make to understand doctrine.

I'll say no more but this, thereby you shall be happy indeed; use the world as if you used it not, and thereby you shall be happy: Who is the happy man in the world? He's an happy man that can contemn, and be contemned, saith the Heathen Seneca. He's the happy man in the world, that can use the world as if he used it not.

I'le say no more but this, thereby you shall be happy indeed; use the world as if you us'd it not, and thereby you shall be happy: Who is the happy man in the world? He's an happy man that can contemn, and be contemned, saith the Heathen Seneca. He's the happy man in the world, that can use the world as if he us'd it not.

And yet again isle repeat that, Thereby you shall be fit to suffer in suffering times. Suffering times are upon us, and by using the world as if we used it ⟨p. 156⟩not, you shall be fit to suffer: And therefore again I say, As you do desire that you may be fit to suffer in suffering times. That you may be happy. That you may have the mind of Christ. That you may have the things of the world in a better Edition. That you may have them in more abundance. That you may know how to want and part wi all things easily. Now use the world as if you used it not.
