The Eighth Consideration.

A further consideration may be this, That before your conver∣sion, before God wrought upon your souls, you were contented then with the world without grace, though you had no interest in God nor Christ, why cannot you now be contented with grace and Spiritual things with∣out the world? If you your selves were content with the world without grace, there's reason you should be content with grace without the world? Certainly there's infinitly more reason. Yea, you see that many men of the world have a kind of con∣tentment, do not murmur nor repine when the world comes though they have no interest in God and Christ. Then can'st not thou have as much Contentment with God and Christ without the world, as they can with the world without God and Christ? This is infinite shame it should be so.
