Not illustrated. 1820 edition. Excerpt: ... they would go through any state, and any changes of state, either to the better or the worse, with very composed equal minds, always moderate in their necessary cares, and never taking any care at all for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts of it. Rom. xiii. 14. Let them that have no better home than this world to lay claim to, live here as at home, and serve their lusts; they that have all their portion in this life, no more good to look for than what they can catch here, let them take their time of the poor profits and pleasures that are here; but you that have your whole estate, all your riches and pleasures laid up in Heaven, and reserved there for you, let your hearts be there, and your conversation there. This is not the place of your rest, nor of your delights, unless you would be willing to change, and to have your good things here, as some foolish travellers, who spend the estate they should live on at home, in a little while braving it abroad amongst strangers. Will you with profane Esau, sell your birthright for a mess of pottage,--sell eternity for a moment, and, for a moment, sell such pleasures as a moment of them is more worth than an eternity of the other? 2. The Apostle argues from the condition of those lusts. It were quarrel enough againstfleshly lusts which war against the soul, that they are so far below the soul, that they cannot content, no, nor at all reach the soul; they are not a suitable, much less a satisfying good to it. Although sin hath unspeakably abused the soul of man, yet its excellent nature and original does still cause a vast disproportion betwixt it and all those gross base things of the earth, which concern the flesh, and go no further. But this is not all: these fleshly lusts are not only of no benefit...
