agreeable_a to_o the_o industry_n of_o mole_n which_o dig_v underground_n with_o much_o dexterity_n but_o be_v blind_a when_o they_o come_v into_o the_o sun_n so_o we_o have_v much_o skill_n in_o

after_o all_o this_o meditation_n let_v we_o rest_v ourselves_o upon_o these_o two_o maxime_n and_o proposition_n which_o be_v the_o true_a foundation_n that_o zeal_n be_v ground_v upon_o the_o first_o be_v for_o to_o love_n god_n it_o behoove_v to_o contemn_v the_o world_n the_o second_o be_v that_o for_o to_o contemn_v the_o world_n it_o be_v necessary_a for_o the_o faithful_a to_o know_v his_o own_o worth_n nobleness_n and_o excellency_n of_o vocation_n the_o first_o maxim_n be_v take_v out_o of_o s._n john_n in_o his_o first_o epistle_n love_v not_o the_o world_n neither_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o the_o world_n if_o any_o man_n love_v the_o world_n the_o love_n of_o the_o father_n be_v not_o in_o he_o for_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o the_o world_n as_o the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n the_o lust_n of_o the_o eye_n and_o the_o pride_n of_o life_n be_v not_o of_o the_o father_n but_o be_v of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o world_n pass_v away_o and_o the_o lust_n thereof_o but_o he_o that_o fulfil_v the_o will_n of_o god_n abide_v for_o ever_o nothing_o do_v so_o far_o separate_v we_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n as_o our_o affection_n to_o the_o world_n see_v that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n for_o to_o admonish_v we_o do_v call_v the_o world_n the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o devil_n but_o as_o the_o moon_n have_v no_o light_n but_o from_o the_o sun_n so_o our_o soul_n have_v not_o any_o light_n but_o by_o the_o regard_n of_o god_n and_o by_o a_o consequent_a neither_o more_o nor_o less_o but_o even_o as_o the_o moon_n do_v lose_v her_o light_n when_o she_o be_v hide_v within_o the_o shadow_n of_o the_o earth_n so_o also_o do_v our_o soul_n lose_v their_o brightness_n for_o they_o be_v call_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n the_o child_n of_o light_n when_o they_o molest_v and_o wrap_v themselves_o within_o the_o shadow_n of_o earthly_a thing_n care_n and_o worldly_a concupiscence_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o tread_v under_o our_o foot_n according_a to_o the_o example_n of_o the_o church_n which_o as_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o 12._o of_o the_o apocalypse_n have_v under_o her_o foot_n the_o moon_n that_o be_v the_o mutable_a instability_n of_o these_o inferior_a thing_n to_o this_o purpose_n jesus_n also_o will_v that_o the_o penny_n shall_v be_v restore_v to_o caesar_n because_o that_o it_o have_v his_o image_n on_o it_o let_v we_o therefore_o then_o give_v ourselves_o to_o god_n see_v that_o we_o bear_v his_o own_o image_n but_o the_o inconvenience_n be_v that_o we_o do_v often_o abolish_v the_o image_n in_o rub_v it_o against_o the_o earth_n and_o pollute_v our_o soul_n with_o worldly_a thought_n and_o desire_n that_o we_o may_v therefore_o contemn_v the_o earth_n and_o all_o that_o the_o world_n do_v promise_v it_o require_v that_o we_o come_v to_o the_o second_o point_n which_o be_v to_o know_v perfect_o what_o the_o worth_n and_o excellency_n of_o the_o faithful_a be_v for_o when_o as_o man_n by_o a_o unfriendly_a amity_n and_o cruel_a well-willing_a deceitfulness_n do_v solicit_v some_o one_o to_o do_v ill_a which_o have_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o to_o offend_v his_o conscience_n

the_o firstborn_a who_o name_n be_v register_v in_o heaven_n shall_v i_o esteem_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o world_n which_o when_o they_o be_v most_o certain_a they_o be_v too_o base_a for_o i_o to_o
