those_o that_o love_v the_o world_n they_o pierce_v themselves_o with_o many_o sorrow_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v they_o fall_v into_o many_o temptation_n and_o snare_n and_o into_o many_o foolish_a and_o hurtful_a lust_n which_o drown_v they_o in_o perdition_n and_o destruction_n that_o which_o i_o say_v before_o then_o i_o say_v again_o with_o the_o apostle_n love_v not_o the_o world_n neither_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n raise_v your_o affection_n from_o thing_n that_o be_v on_o earth_n 2._o and_o set_v they_o on_o thing_n above_o some_o will_v say_v with_o the_o pharisee_n

concern_v the_o fiery_a trial_n marvel_v not_o if_o the_o world_n hate_v you_o 1._o pet._n 4._o 12._o three_o because_o the_o world_n be_v a_o enemy_n remember_v not_o to_o be_v too_o conversant_a with_o the_o wicked_a thereof_o as_o with_o idolater_n fornicator_n drunkard_n swearer_n or_o any_o wicked_a person_n shall_v a_o man_n desire_v the_o company_n of_o his_o enemy_n 87._o and_o such_o
