'In the world there is an inner world, a second world
which every Christian must avoid, for it knows not God and the devil is
its ruler. It was of this world that Jesus Christ said: "I pray not for
the world" (John 17:9). In this world are found those who live solely
for vanity and pleasure; it is where the one aim is to please and
flatter, where there is hardly anything that is innocent and good, and
where people glory in all that ought to make us ashamed.'
