Two treatises of Mr. Jeremiah Burroughs. The first of earthly-mindedness

Some read this Particle [For] [But:] But our Conversation is in Heaven. Our Conversation is not as theirs: Certainly the Apostle doth intend this, to make a distinction from, or a difference between the Saints ways, and the ways of those that were Enemies to the Cross of Christ: They mind Earthly things: But our Conversation is in Heaven: But because of the particle, [For] our Conversation; therefore I think that it hath reference ⟨p. 92⟩unto the 17 verse, for the 18. and 19. verses are in a parenthesis, and therefore if you would know the scope of the Apostle in it, and what this hath relation to; (for) it is in the 17. verse, Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as you have us for an ensample; for our Conversation is in Heaven, to it is to follow: he made a little digression when he said, Make us your example; then he speaks of others, but many there are that walk thus and thus, and are enemies to the cross of Christ, Whose belly is their god, whose glory is their shame, whose end is destruction, who mind earthly things; But our (or, for our) Conversation is in Heaven. As if he should say, Take heed of following of those whose belly is their god, who mind earthly things, for their end is destruction; but rather follow those whose Conversation is in Heaven, for their end is, salvation: that's the scope of the words. Now then from the scope and the coherence of them, follow us for an example, For our Conversation is in Heaven; so they are to be joined together: from whence (first) before we come to speak of this Heavenly Conversation that the Apostle mentions, we have this point, That the Examples of men whose Conversations are heavenly, are to be followed. Follow us as an example, for our Conversation is in Heaven. They are guided by the spirit of God, and the end of their Conversation is good, and therefore 'tis safe to be followed. In
