I am now willing to hear what you have learned touching the Duty of Believers, in reference to their temporal Life, and the good things belonging thereto, as Pleasures, Riches, Honours, and in reference to the contrary; wherefore I ask you, What is the Duty of Believers in reference to their Temporal Life?
