Someone has broken free from the chains of their body. They know they must soon say goodbye to the world and leave everything behind. So they focus completely on two things: doing what is right in every action, and accepting whatever nature brings them. They are content with just these two goals — to act justly, and to welcome whatever God sends. They don't waste time worrying about what others might say, think, or do against them. Their only concern is to move straight ahead where right and reason point them. By doing this, they follow God. This becomes their sole focus, their only work.
He hath got loose from the bonds of his body, and perceiving that within a very little while he must of necessity bid the world farewell, and leave all these things behind him, he wholly applied himself, as to righteousness in all his actions, so to the common nature in all things that should happen unto him. And contenting himself with these two things, to do all things justly, and whatsoever God doth send to like well of it: what others shall either say or think of him, or shall do against him, he doth not so much as trouble his thoughts with it. To go on straight, whither right and reason directed him, and by so doing to follow God, was the only thing that he did mind, that, his only business and occupation.
