Who can find it in his heart to dishonour his God? The second is like unto it, how shall I do this wickedness, and wrong mine own soul? What, shall I be a self murderer? get behind me Satan, though thou wilt have to do with me, yet what have I any more to do with thee?

392. 'Tis no wonder that the world care's not for Saints, for the saint is a man of another world in this; were he of the world, the world would love 'its own: and 'tis no ⟨p. 125⟩wonder that the saints care not for this world; For what should strangers, sojourners and pilgrims load themselves with bag and baggage for? no, they declare plainly that they seek a country, and would not always stay in the world, for all the world. The world is crucified to me, and I unto the world.
