This ye shall find most plain in the very express words of our Saviour, when he discovers this Work, John, 17.6. I have manifested thy Name to the Men, which thou gavest me out of the World. He gets them out of the hand of the World, from the lust of the eyes, and lusts of the Flesh, and the Pride of Life, 1 John, 2.16. For that is all, which is in the World; and from all these, whether ⟨p. 209⟩the vanity of the Creature, with which our Eye and Senses are taken from without; or the sensual filth, and dunghill steams of noisome distempers, which arise of our own Concupiscence; or whether it be Pride, and overweening Self-confidence, which ariseth, and issues out of all. this is all that is in the World, and from all these, the Father gains the Souls of those men, he gives unto his Son.
