God••s favour above the world's contentments, to a godly man. [ XXVI]
THe old Grecians,* 1.1 that had fed altogether on Achorns before, after that bread
came in amongst them, they made no reckoning of their mast any more, but
kept it onely for their swine: And leathern and iron mony began to grow out of
request amongst the Lacedemonians, after that gold and silver came in use. So when
a man hath once found the favour of God in his heart,* 1.2 and the love of God in Christ
hath once lighted on it,* 1.3 and got assurance of it, he ceaseth then to be greedy of
this worlds trash, which is, in regard of it, but as drosse, or peeble stones, to gold and
diamonds,* 1.4 as mast to the best bread-corn; yea, rather of far lesse worth or value to
that, than either of these are to it.
