Setyoureeffellions on things that are above, &c. Uft our affedions be let upon God ? then this reproves them, Who fet their Jet-lions on the earth. Thematter is reduceable to four heads. The firft is the multiplicity of the affedi- ons, they are very many in number. The fecond is, the am ths'e , or the Checker -wife order of the affedions. As they are many, fo they are complica- ted and platted one within another, that look what they are fet on, they knit the heart to it. The third is, the degree the affedions are in, in regard of other ads of the foul. The fourth is, the extremity of th° affedions, which is zeal. From all thefe four heads I will Phew you the wofull aggravation of this fin, not to let our affections on God. Firfi, From the multitude and multiplicity of the affe- dions : a man cannot fet his affedions upon earth, but he mwlt let them all upon earth t the affedions they all go together, and are many. Not only four, as Boethists doth count them : nor only five, as Galen does reckon them : nor only eleven, as Ariflotle does number them : nor only twen- ty, as Cardan does fum them ; but they are like a fwarm of Bees, as L alias Peregrinsu does compare them for multi- tude. It is a great fin to let dur aff..aions on the earth. Fous Ar- guments to con. vince this truth. r. Ifa man lets his of. fe &ions on the earth, he lets á1l his affetiions en it.
