Galatians6:14
Verſe 14. But God forbid, &c.] The Saints keep a conſtant counter-motion, and are Antipodes to the wicked. They thus and thus, but I otherwiſe.
Whereby the world is crucified] I look upon the world as a dead thing, as a great dung-hill, &c. That harlot was deceived in S. Paul, in thinking to allure him by laying out thoſe her two fair breaſts of profit and pleaſure: He had no minde to be ſucking at thoſe botches; He was a very crucifix of mortification: And in his face (as one ſaid of Dr Raynolds) a man might have ſeen, Verum mortificati hominis idaeam, the true portraiture of a mortified man.
And I to the world] q.d. The world and I are well agreed. The world cares not a pin for me, and I (to cry quittance with it) care as little for the world.
