The world. We walk in the midst of snares and temptations, says Austin- and Bernard says that our life is a continual temptation. We are in the midst of tempting objects, that are comfortable to our senses, necessary to our uses, and present to our embraces, that we can hardly distinguish between what necessity craves, and lust desireth, and so we are strangely gained upon- 1 John ii. 16, 'For all that is in the world is the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, and pride of life.' He doth not say, 'Whatsoever is in our corrupt hearts-' but he describes the objects by the lusts, because they are readily excited by them- 'All that is in the world.' There are baits for every temper- honour for the ambitious, wealth for the covetous, pleasure for the sensual.
