§.SC1.7
The

be anfwered concerning
the loue
of
Hovv
farre
worldly
things, honours,
riches
and pleafures;
we
may
loue
rth
vue
may
them
as
they
are
the
bleffings
of
God,
and delire them
fo
loue
worldly
farre
foorth

they

temporali
benefits, and

or
at
leaf+
no hindrances in the
workes
of
holineffe and
righ-
teoufneffe, we may
fo
loue them
as
that
in
the meane time
our
loue be fubordinate
to the
loue
ofGod,our
brethren and
fpirituall things. But
if
our loue
palle thefe
limits,it
is
cor-
rupt
and carnali,
yet
no
vndoubted argument to prooue
that
we
are
not
effe&uallie
called,
if
we
are difpleafed
with it,and
labour
againf+
it;
and
though
oftentimes
we
are
ouercome
therewith through
the violence
of
our carnali
affe&ions
and
corruptions
ofthe
flefh,
yet
if
we hate
this
finne in
the
in-
ner
man,
if
wee
entertaine
it
through
violence, and
not
with
affë6tion
and
delight,
if
it

may well
fufpe& his
argument
of
falfhood,
for
Satan
doth
not
hate
thofe
whom
the
world
loueth; but
by
his
conti-
nuall affaulting
of
the
weake
Chriflian, and
his
daily labou-
ring to bring
him
through the
violence
of
his
tentations
to
utter def+ruaion,
it
manifef+lie
appeareth
that
Satan
like
a
mortali enimie
deadly
hateth
him;
and
therefore it
is
not
likelie
that
is
beloued
of
the
world
