four_o we_o be_v so_o to_o use_v the_o world_n and_o the_o thing_n thereof_o as_o they_o be_v why_o now_o true_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o this_o world_n that_o be_v either_o good_a or_o evil_n moral_o but_o as_o it_o be_v use_v prosperity_n in_o itself_o be_v not_o good_a not_o moral_o good_a adversity_n in_o itself_o be_v not_o evil_a it_o be_v not_o moral_o evil_a all_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n be_v but_o indifferent_a neither_o good_a nor_o evil_a in_o themselves_o but_o as_o they_o be_v use_v thus_o then_o if_o all_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n be_v but_o in_o their_o own_o nature_n indifferent_a neither_o good_a nor_o evil_a why_o shall_v not_o our_o heart_n be_v carry_v out_o indifferent_o towards_o they_o and_o so_o to_o use_v they_o as_o if_o we_o use_v they_o not_o all_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n they_o be_v but_o to_o serve_v a_o turn_n they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v enjoy_v for_o themselves_o only_o for_o to_o serve_v a_o turn_n there_o be_v nothing_o that_o you_o have_v to_o deal_v withal_o but_o be_v mere_o for_o to_o serve_v a_o turn_n clothes_n be_v but_o to_o serve_v a_o turn_n to_o cover_v nakedness_n good_a meat_n and_o drink_n be_v but_o to_o serve_v a_o turn_n to_o serve_v our_o hunger_n and_o our_o thirst_n money_n and_o house_n and_o land_n be_v all_o but_o to_o serve_v a_o turn_n only_a god_n be_v to_o be_v enjoy_v god_n be_v not_o for_o to_o serve_v a_o turn_n but_o all_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n they_o be_v only_o for_o to_o serve_v a_o particular_a turn_n the_o schoolman_n therefore_o have_v a_o

6._o 14._o god_n forbid_v that_o i_o shall_v glory_v save_v in_o the_o cross_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n by_o who_o or_o whereby_o the_o world_n be_v crucify_v unto_o i_o and_o i_o unto_o

matter_n of_o our_o relation_n say_v the_o apostle_n it_o remain_v that_o both_o they_o that_o have_v wife_n be_v as_o though_o they_o have_v none_o a_o man_n may_v use_v his_o relation_n as_o if_o he_o have_v none_o his_o relation_n why_o but_o be_v not_o a_o man_n to_o provide_v for_o his_o wife_n and_o child_n and_o family_n yes_o he_o be_v worse_a than_o a_o infidel_n that_o provide_v not_o for_o his_o wife_n and_o for_o his_o family_n for_o his_o relation_n but_o when_o a_o man_n have_v relation_n he_o be_v very_o apt_a to_o be_v lose_v therein_o a_o man_n may_v be_v drink_v with_o his_o own_o bear_n or_o wine_n i_o have_v marry_v a_o wife_n and_o i_o can_v come_v therefore_o he_o be_v to_o use_v his_o relation_n as_o ●f_o he_o have_v none_o in_o regard_n of_o his_o care_n to_o please_v god_n as_o diligent_a in_o frequent_v the_o mean_n of_o grace_n as_o if_o he_o have_v no_o relation_n for_o say_v he_o v._o 32._o but_o i_o will_v have_v you_o without_o carefulness_n he_o that_o be_v unmarried_a care_v for_o the_o thing_n that_o belong_v to_o the_o lord_n how_o he_o may_v please_v the_o lord_n he_o that_o be_v marry_v care_v for_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v of_o the_o world_n how_o he_o may_v please_v his_o wife_n in_o reference_n therefore_o unto_o the_o please_a of_o god_n frequent_v of_o the_o mean_n of_o grace_n let_v he_o that_o have_v relation_n be_v as_o if_o he_o have_v none_o hinder_v no_o more_o by_o they_o than_o if_o he_o have_v none_o let_v he_o be_v as_o zealous_a for_o the_o truth_n as_o if_o he_o have_v none_o let_v he_o be_v as_o apt_a and_o ready_a to_o suffer_v for_o the_o cause_n of_o chr●st_n as_o if_o he_o have_v none_o we_o be_v apt_a to_o boggle_v at_o suffering_n because_o of_o our_o relation_n what_o shall_v become_v of_o my_o wise_a and_o child_n what_o shall_v become_v of_o my_o family_n it_o be_v a_o speech_n therefore_o of_o origen_n when_o he_o be_v young_a unto_o his_o father_n when_o his_o father_n be_v to_o go_v and_o suffer_v martyrdom_n for_o the_o cause_n of_o christ_n o_o my_o father_n say_v he_o o_o my_o father_n take_v heed_n that_o you_o do_v not_o bauk_fw-mi this_o suffering_n for_o my_o sake_n that_o you_o may_v provide_v for_o i_o we_o be_v very_o apt_a to_o bauk_fw-mi suffering_n for_o the_o cause_n of_o christ_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o our_o family_n and_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o our_o relation_n but_o now_o let_v he_o that_o have_v relation_n be_v as_o if_o he_o have_v none_o frequent_v and_o use_v of_o the_o mean_n of_o grace_n pray_v read_v hear_v as_o if_o he_o have_v none_o as_o zealous_a for_o the_o truth_n as_o if_o he_o have_v none_o as_o apt_a and_o ready_a to_o suffer_v for_o the_o cause_n of_o christ_n as_o if_o he_o have_v none_o thus_o we_o be_v to_o use_v the_o
