One that being bornof the flefh is but flefh : The other that. being bornof the Spirit is Spirit. One that live as without God in the world : The other that live as without the feducing world in God,and in and by the fubfervient world to God. One that have Ordinances and Meansof Grace as if they had none : The other that have houfes,lands, wives, as:fthey had none. One that:be- lieve as if they believed not, and love God as if they loved him not, and pray as if they prayed not, as if the fruit of thefe were but a fhadow : The other that weep as if they wept not ( for worldly things) and rejoyce as if they rejoyced not. One that have Chriit as not poffefsing him , andufe him and his name, as but abufing them : The other that buy as if they pofftffed not, and ufe the world as not abufing it.
