1Traditions and mans inventions which the Apostle hath before taxed, may well be called things on earth. 1. Because they spring from the earth and earthly minded men, they were never inspired from God, nor devised by heavenly minded men. 2. Because they hinder them that are devoted to them, from looking up, or attaining any insight in things that are above. ⟨p. 9⟩3. Because these by effect make men more earthly and sensual: but of these in the former chapter.

- 1Traditions are for three reasons called things on earth.
The works of the flesh, and the corruptions of life to be avoided, and not affected, are the third sort of things on earth: but of that also afterwards in the second part of the general duties; especially in the fifth verse. So that the second sort of things on earth remaineth to be more largely considered, those are profits, honours, pleasures, friends, health, and long life.
