Thou dost therefore foolishly, if thou dost trust or rejoice in any other.
It is better for thee to have all the world against [♦]thee, than Jesus offended with thee.
[♦] “hee” replaced with “thee”
Therefore of all things that are dear to thee, let Jesus alone be peculiarly thy beloved.
*Love all for Jesus, but Jesus for himself.
Jesus Christ alone is to be beloved; who alone is faithful above all friends.
For him, and in him, let as well friends as foes be dear unto thee; pray to him for all these, that all may know and love him.
*Never desire to be commended or beloved; for that appertaineth unto God.
*Neither do thou desire that the heart of any should be set on thee; nor do thou set thy heart on any: but let Jesus be in thee, and in every good man.
*4. Be pure and free within, and entangle not thy heart with any creature.
