He must necessarily be born again or from above, he must be partaker of a divine nature that can ascend thus high;¹ He that is of the earth is earthy, he that is of heaven is heavenly; Till a man have the Image of God, and be made like him, he cannot but mind earthly things; When men are made godly, you cannot say, O Curoae in terras animae, No, then their souls as well as their bodies are made straight up towards heaven; A worm can never do as the Lark, soar up on high singing as she goeth, but when descending towards the earth, silent as if she were grieved, Till then God hath made us new creatures, given us new hearts, and a new spirit within us, we cannot desire these worldly ⟨p. 33⟩comforts for any other end but our selves; To be rich, to be great, to be wise only for our selves.
