CXLV expository sermons upon the whole 17th chapter of the Gospel according to St.…

Use of Exhortation to the godly, Remember what ye are, Not of the world, Therefore take heed of worldly affections, worldly hearts, For where your treasure is there will your heart be also; If it be in God, in Heaven, there the heart will be, If in Earth and in earthly things, there it will be; You tremble at the commission of gross and grievous sins, you think hell it self would immediately devour you upon such sins: Be afraid of the world, Let it not be a Delilah to thee, a Judas to thee, by kissing thee to destroy thee, Consider therefore God hath put gall into all worldly comforts, therefore every creature, every condition in the world hath a sting in it, that thy soul should be more on God; Thou canst never live quietly till above the world, In heaven only there are no storms, no waves, no disquietings, and this life thou mayest attain unto; He that is not of the world. The troubles of the world hurt not him, the losses of the world grieve not him, The vexations of the world disquiet not him; But because we are still of the world in part, we are not completely and perfectly out of disquietness, Therefore in this life we remain in a combating, conflicting way that heaven may be the sweeter.
