become_v rich_a as_o the_o apostle_n witness_v fall_v into_o temptation_n and_o the_o snare_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o into_o many_o unprofitable_a and_o hurtful_a desire_n which_o send_v they_o

to_o love_v such_o pleasure_n and_o delight_n to_o follow_v they_o and_o to_o employ_v all_o our_o endeavour_n only_o in_o attain_v of_o they_o since_o they_o be_v but_o base_a &_o mean_a and_o do_v hinder_v the_o love_n and_o desire_v of_o thing_n eternal_a &_o entangle_v the_o mind_n in_o many_o snare_n in_o like_a manner_n though_o matrimony_n of_o itself_o be_v good_a and_o ordain_v by_o god_n yet_o it_o draw_v with_o it_o many_o care_n and_o trouble_n which_o through_o humanie_fw-fr frailty_n hinder_v the_o health_n of_o the_o soul_n that_o it_o lead_v man_n secret_o into_o many_o

to_o be_v more_o probable_a that_o the_o apostle_n in_o that_o place_n speak_v not_o of_o the_o merit_n but_o of_o the_o estate_n and_o office_n of_o marriage_n &_o that_o to_o be_v also_o the_o
