1. Let us beware of having our hearts too much linked to the World.1 The World damps zeal, as Earth chokes the fire. We are bid to love our Enemies; but the World is such an Enemy as we must not love, 1 John 2.15. Love not the World. The World bewitcheth with ⟨p. 10⟩her Blandishments, and kills with her silver Darts. He who is a Demas, will be a Judas; a lover of the World, will for a piece of Money betray a good Cause, and make Shipwreck of a good Conscience.
