[ 1111] The World to be contemned in regard of Heaven.
THe Eagle a Princely bird,* 1.1 of a piercing sight, a swift and lofty flight mounts upwards, setting light by the things that are below, never condescending to any of these inferiour things, but when Necessity compells, not when superfluity doth allure;* 1.2 Such an Eagle was Zacheus, that left his Extortion, Matthew his Toll∣gathering, Peter all, such as used this world as if they used it not, wherewith to supply their necessary wants and no further: O happy change! when Men leave all for him that is worth more then all;* 1.3 though Riches encrease, yet they set not their hearts upon them, though their Estates be changed, yet they are not chan∣ged, their desire is not to be rich unto this world, but unto G••d; their bodies are be low, but their hearts are above; their lives here, but their Conversa••ions in Hea∣ven.
