too_o good_a for_o the_o world_n first_o the_o world_n viz._n the_o wicked_a in_o the_o world_n be_v very_o little_a worth_n not_o worth_a one_o godly_a man_n or_o woman_n in_o it_o whence_o observe_v that_o god_n child_n be_v worthy_a person_n doctrine_n but_o before_o i_o handle_v this_o point_n i_o will_v give_v the_o sense_n and_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n 1._o this_o word_n world_n be_v diverse_o take_v sometim_n it_o be_v take_v for_o the_o whole_a fabric_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n john_n 1._o 10._o he_o be_v in_o the_o world_n and_o the_o world_n be_v make_v by_o he_o and_o the_o world_n know_v he_o not_o so_o act_v 17._o 24._o god_n that_o make_v the_o world_n etc._n etc._n 2._o sometime_o it_o be_v take_v for_o all_o mankind_n good_a and_o bad_a so_o rom._n 5._o 12._o as_o by_o one_o man_n sin_n enter_v into_o the_o world_n viz._n sin_v enter_v into_o the_o man_n which_o be_v in_o the_o world_n 3._o sometime_o it_o be_v take_v for_o the_o elect_n only_o so_o john_n 1._o 29._o behold_v the_o lamb_n of_o god_n which_o take_v away_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n viz._n the_o elect_a in_o the_o world_n again_o god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n etc._n etc._n john_n 3._o 1._o 16._o viz._n his_o elect_a in_o the_o world_n again_o we_o believe_v this_o be_v the_o saviour_n of_o the_o world_n john_n 4._o 42._o viz._n of_o the_o elect_a in_o the_o world_n but_o why_o be_v the_o godly_a call_v the_o world_n object_n i_o answer_v first_o because_o the_o world_n be_v make_v for_o they_o and_o it_o be_v continue_v answ_n yet_o for_o their_o sake_n second_o they_o may_v be_v call_v the_o world_n because_o they_o be_v scatter_v through_o the_o world_n and_o that_o not_o only_o among_o the_o jew_n but_o even_o among_o the_o gentile_n also_o three_o they_o may_v be_v call_v the_o world_n because_o in_o themselves_o they_o be_v a_o world_n of_o people_n but_o yet_o compare_v they_o with_o the_o devil_n drive_v they_o be_v few_o even_o as_o the_o shake_n of_o the_o olive_n tree_n isaiah_n 17._o 6._o yet_o in_o themselves_o they_o be_v as_o the_o star_n in_o number_n genesis_n 15._o 5._o and_o balaam_n say_v who_o can_v number_v the_o dust_n of_o jacob_n numb_a 22._o 10._o sometime_o it_o be_v take_v for_o the_o reprobate_n in_o the_o world_n so_o john_n 15._o 19_o if_o you_o be_v of_o the_o world_n the_o world_n will_v love_v its_o own_o it_o be_v plain_a also_o in_o the_o prayer_n of_o christ_n i_o pray_v not_o for_o the_o world_n john_n 17._o 9_o and_o they_o may_v fit_o be_v call_v the_o world_n first_o because_o they_o be_v the_o world_n citizen_n they_o mind_v the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n they_o follow_v nothing_o but_o the_o world_n second_o because_o they_o be_v the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o world_n sometime_o the_o world_n be_v take_v for_o the_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n those_o thing_n wherewith_o the_o devil_n use_v to_o draw_v man_n from_o god_n as_o the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n the_o lust_n of_o the_o eye_n the_o pride_n of_o life_n 1._o john_n 2._o 16._o sometime_o for_o the_o happy_a estate_n and_o condition_n the_o godly_a shall_v enjoy_v after_o this_o life_n so_o luke_n 20_o 35._o they_o which_o shall_v be_v account_v worthy_a to_o obtain_v that_o world_n etc._n etc._n now_o whereas_o the_o apostle_n say_v of_o who_o the_o world_n be_v not_o worthy_a i_o take_v it_o he_o mean_v wicked_a man_n in_o the_o world_n and_o those_o be_v they_o that_o be_v not_o worthy_a the_o company_n of_o the_o godly_a and_o because_o i_o intend_v to_o show_v the_o unworthiness_n of_o the_o world_n i_o will_v show_v first_o that_o the_o thing_n in_o this_o world_n be_v little_a worth_n second_o that_o the_o man_n in_o the_o world_n be_v little_a worth_n first_o i_o will_v show_v you_o that_o the_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n be_v little_a worth_n as_o riches_n honour_n pleasure_n etc._n etc._n they_o be_v call_v deceitful_a riches_n and_o christ_n call_v they_o the_o mammon_n of_o iniquity_n luke_n 16._o 9_o trash_n luke_n 8._o 14._o snare_n 1_o tim._n 6._o 9_o they_o be_v call_v uncertain_a riches_n now_o these_o base_a title_n must_v needs_o argue_v that_o they_o be_v little_a worth_n for_o be_v they_o worth_a more_o god_n will_v set_v better_a title_n on_o they_o and_o solomon_n who_o have_v best_a experience_n of_o they_o yet_o he_o term_v they_o vanity_n eccles_n 1_o 2._o and_o 11._o second_o they_o be_v little_a worth_n because_o they_o be_v very_o unprofitable_a they_o can_v pofit_v a_o man_n it_o be_v plain_a by_o the_o speech_n of_o samuel_n 1._o sam._n 12._o 21._o vain_a thing_n which_o can_v profit_v etc._n etc._n three_o they_o be_v little_a worth_n because_o they_o can_v further_o a_o man_n in_o the_o main_a thing_n at_o which_o he_o shall_v aim_v they_o may_v further_o a_o man_n in_o some_o trifle_n but_o not_o in_o the_o main_a thing_n there_o be_v no_o true_a good_a come_v to_o a_o man_n by_o all_o the_o riches_n in_o the_o world_n neither_o can_v they_o free_v a_o man_n from_o the_o evil_a day_n neither_o can_v they_o make_v you_o better_a either_o in_o respect_n of_o god_n or_o yourselves_o first_o in_o respect_n of_o god_n they_o can_v make_v you_o better_o esteem_v with_o god_n for_o he_o regard_v not_o the_o rich_a more_o than_o the_o poor_a job_n 34._o 19_o he_o do_v not_o account_n of_o a_o man_n according_a to_o his_o greatness_n but_o according_a to_o his_o goodness_n prov._n 20._o 7_o 8._o better_a be_v a_o poor_a man_n that_o walk_v in_o his_o integrity_n than_o a_o king_n that_o be_v perverse_a in_o his_o way_n second_o they_o can_v better_v he_o in_o respect_n of_o god_n because_o they_o can_v assure_v he_o of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n three_o they_o can_v make_v a_o man_n more_o mindful_a of_o god_n nay_o they_o corrupt_v man_n heart_n they_o make_v a_o man_n more_o forgetful_a of_o god_n it_o be_v thus_o with_o the_o great_a part_n of_o man_n in_o the_o world_n that_o be_v worldly_a rich_a it_o be_v with_o they_o as_o it_o be_v with_o the_o prodigal_n who_o while_o he_o have_v money_n in_o his_o purse_n never_o do_v he_o think_v on_o his_o father_n four_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n can_v make_v a_o man_n more_o thankful_a to_o god_n but_o rather_o the_o contrary_a ut_fw-la supra_fw-la five_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n can_v draw_v a_o man_n near_o unto_o god_n you_o see_v that_o the_o more_o man_n have_v the_o more_o negligent_a they_o be_v in_o god_n service_n second_o in_o respect_n of_o ourselves_o first_o all_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o life_n can_v in_o rich_a a_o man_n soul_n with_o grace_n they_o can_v make_v he_o humble_a nor_o merciful_a nor_o constant_a in_o the_o profession_n of_o godliness_n and_o good_a duty_n nay_o it_o rather_o make_v they_o the_o more_o unmeet_a to_o any_o goodness_n where_o there_o be_v gain_v in_o the_o chest_n there_o be_v loss_n in_o the_o conscience_n he_o that_o get_v money_n apace_o may_v lose_v faith_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n and_o they_o that_o most_o cover_n for_o abundance_n of_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o life_n be_v most_o backward_o in_o grace_n and_o this_o argue_v that_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o life_n be_v little_a worth_n even_o in_o respect_n of_o a_o man_n self_n second_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o free_v a_o man_n from_o any_o spiritual_a evil_n they_o may_v promise_v freedom_n but_o when_o they_o come_v to_o the_o trial_n they_o will_v be_v like_o a_o break_a staff_n nay_o they_o can_v free_v thou_o so_o much_o as_o from_o a_o ague_n much_o less_o will_v they_o help_v in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n wrath_n when_o the_o rich_a man_n shall_v be_v call_v to_o a_o account_n and_o the_o lord_n will_v recompense_v every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o way_n so_o prov._n 11._o 4._o riches_n profit_v not_o in_o the_o day_n of_o wrath_n true_a it_o be_v they_o may_v be_v as_o a_o wall_n of_o brass_n to_o keep_v off_o the_o evil_n of_o this_o world_n yet_o when_o the_o hour_n of_o death_n approach_v they_o can_v free_v from_o that_o when_o you_o be_v affright_v with_o the_o accusation_n of_o your_o own_o conscience_n and_o with_o the_o apprehension_n of_o god_n wrath_n when_o the_o devil_n shall_v set_v upon_o you_o and_o all_o your_o friend_n forsake_v you_o shall_v the_o thing_n of_o this_o life_n then_o do_v you_o any_o pleasure_n no_o no._n you_o will_v say_v to_o they_o then_o as_o job_n to_o his_o friend_n miserable_a comforter_n be_v you_o all_o this_o argue_v their_o little_a worth_n for_o god_n will_v not_o examine_v you_o how_o rich_a you_o have_v be_v but_o he_o will_v consider_v you_o as_o you_o have_v honour_v he_o and_o as_o
because_o they_o be_v the_o strength_n of_o a_o man_n soul_n the_o first_o bear_v of_o original_a corruption_n ibid._n 5._o because_o they_o be_v the_o dear_a act_n of_o man_n 141._o doct._n 2._o it_o
