Note 1 — Chapter XVI · THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN CHRISTIANITY AND HEATHENISM.
George Eliot translation
“The life for God is not this natural life, which is subject to decay.... Ought we not then to sigh after future things, and be averse to all these temporal things?... Wherefore we should find consolation in heartily despising this life and this world, and from our hearts sigh for and desire the future honour and glory of eternal life.”—Luther (Th. i. s. 466, 467). ↑
