On I Peter 4:7 --
"Its the fault of Christians, that they seek the world too eagerly, and neglect many good duties for it, run into unwarrantable couries, are unquiet, contentious, &c. whereby they make themselves and their Profession to be ill spoken of: O how ill doth this beseem Christians which have God to be their Father, and Heaven for their inheritance and portion! Fye on it; Is this to behave our selves Pilgrim-like: we should carry ourselves moderately in these things, that we may make the world see and say, we have riches that they know not of, as our Savior said, He had meat his Disciples knew not of; we must labor to grow in grace, and covet the best things."
-- John Rogers, 555.
