the_o intellectual_a part_n excess_n in_o apparel_n be_v but_o a_o flag_n of_o pride_n and_o a_o inclination_n to_o it_o therefore_o in_o those_o thing_n the_o best_a rule_n be_v to_o keep_v the_o

there_o go_v a_o little_a beyond_o the_o compass_n of_o frugality_n be_v not_o penurious_a pinch_v the_o labourer_n wage_n and_o beat_v it_o down_o or_o the_o poor_a tradesman_n ware_n do_v as_o you_o

in_o the_o public_a good_a this_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n to_o which_o covetousness_n be_v oppose_v to_o liberality_n come_v short_a thereof_o be_v when_o a_o man_n forbear_v to_o go_v according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o virtue_n and_o keep_v aloof_o off_o 2._o on_o the_o other_o side_n covetousness_n be_v oppose_v to_o prodigality_n it_o be_v so_o far_o from_o come_v short_a of_o the_o rule_n

now_o beside_o the_o opposition_n the_o proper_a temper_n and_o disposition_n of_o covetousness_n do_v best_a characterise_v it_o it_o do_v infect_v the_o whole_a soul_n although_o formal_o it_o be_v

the_o affection_n 2._o in_o the_o apprehension_n radical_o it_o be_v in_o the_o understanding_n which_o arise_v from_o some_o misconceit_n in_o the_o understanding_n i_o will_v but_o mention_v one_o or_o two_o of_o the_o main_a in_o the_o understanding_n a_o overween_n of_o worldly_a thing_n a_o man_n think_v there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o good_a and_o excellency_n more_o desirable_a

esteem_v they_o so_o high_o he_o will_v never_o affect_v they_o so_o deep_o for_o a_o man_n affection_n depend_v upon_o his_o opinion_n there_o be_v another_o root_n of_o bitterness_n and_o that_o be_v atheism_n or_o infidelity_n or_o diffidence_n when_o man_n be_v poison_v with_o a_o low_a esteem_n of_o god_n providence_n think_v god_n word_n be_v not_o to_o be_v take_v heed_n of_o they_o dare_v not_o trust_v god_n providence_n but_o themselves_o and_o their_o own_o solicitous_a care_n for_o provide_v for_o themselves_o dare_v not_o give_v any_o allowance_n to_o god_n providence_n these_o be_v the_o main_a root_n of_o covetousness_n in_o the_o understanding_n 3._o it_o manife_v itself_o in_o perverse_a action_n the_o action_n be_v deprave_v 1._o the_o thought_n be_v taint_v with_o care_v immoderate_o always_o plod_v run_v with_o thorny_a care_n vex_v and_o torment_v the_o soul_n with_o desire_n that_o he_o be_v continual_o upon_o the_o rack_n with_o cark_n and_o care_v thought_n 3._o his_o speech_n be_v perverse_a a_o thousand_o to_o one_o if_o his_o breath_n smell_v not_o of_o earth_n all_o his_o talk_n be_v of_o his_o worldly_a business_n how_o he_o may_v compass_v such_o a_o possession_n if_o he_o will_v show_v but_o as_o much_o love_n to_o god_n as_o he_o do_v to_o his_o mammon_n it_o be_v well_o 3._o his_o deed_n they_o also_o be_v pollute_v there_o be_v two_o main_a action_n which_o be_v inordinate_a get_v and_o have_v 1._o get_v fall_v on_o inordinate_a course_n riches_n must_v be_v have_v however_o they_o come_v by_o they_o by_o fair_a or_o foul_a play_n covetousness_n be_v a_o snare_n put_v on_o by_o the_o devil_n and_o our_o own_o corrupt_a lust_n which_o make_v we_o venture_v when_o we_o see_v a_o bait_n upon_o any_o inordinate_a action_n 2._o save_v and_o keep_v will_v be_v inordinate_a he_o will_v be_v pinch_v and_o penurious_a scarce_o enjoy_v what_o he_o have_v it_o be_v a_o death_n to_o part_v with_o any_o thing_n he_o part_v with_o so_o much_o blood_n out_o of_o his_o vein_n as_o penny_n out_o of_o his_o purse_n it_o go_v to_o his_o heart_n and_o soul_n inordinate_a get_v keep_v and_o save_v this_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n i_o add_v but_o a_o second_o 2._o as_o covetousness_n infect_v the_o whole_a soul_n so_o the_o inordinatenesse_n of_o it_o appear_v in_o the_o exceed_a in_o what_o love_n require_v and_o be_v either_o of_o god_n ourselves_o or_o neighbour_n the_o inordinatenesse_n of_o it_o show_v itself_o especial_o in_o the_o affection_n and_o this_o i_o shall_v express_v in_o all_o these_o three_o thing_n first_o that_o be_v apparent_a covetousness_n and_o wear_v the_o livery_n and_o cognizance_n of_o covetousness_n when_o it_o neglect_v what_o love_n require_v and_o be_v either_o against_o religion_n or_o justice_n or_o charity_n those_o that_o stick_v not_o to_o trespass_v on_o any_o duty_n of_o love_n i_o will_v mention_v all_o under_o that_o name_n be_v deep_o guilty_a 1._o when_o man_n fear_v not_o to_o trespass_v on_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o of_o holy_a duty_n love_v worldly_a thing_n so_o as_o they_o will_v dispense_v with_o the_o love_n of_o god_n trample_v on_o god_n back_n break_v all_o rule_n of_o piety_n rather_o than_o not_o come_v to_o his_o covetousness_n 2._o when_o a_o man_n trample_v most_o unnatural_o upon_o the_o love_n of_o a_o man_n self_n that_o which_o he_o owe_v to_o himself_o he_o will_v spend_v no_o time_n on_o his_o soul_n to_o feed_v that_o for_o fear_n he_o shall_v have_v too_o little_a for_o the_o world_n nay_o he_o will_v starve_v his_o soul_n and_o body_n also_o to_o save_v charge_n that_o he_o may_v grow_v rich_a and_o scrape_v together_o these_o outward_a thing_n he_o care_v not_o though_o he_o pinch_v himself_o and_o those_o that_o belong_v unto_o he_o 3._o when_o the_o love_n of_o the_o world_n be_v predominant_a above_o the_o love_n of_o his_o neighbour_n that_o he_o can_v break_v the_o law_n of_o justice_n or_o charity_n break_v the_o law_n of_o justice_n so_o that_o he_o will_v wrong_v defraud_n cousin_n or_o cheat_v his_o neighbour_n any_o way_n or_o damage_n he_o account_v all_o to_o be_v fish_n that_o come_v to_o his_o net_n so_o it_o may_v but_o feed_v his_o covetousness_n this_o be_v a_o inordinate_a affection_n towards_o riches_n clear_o the_o very_a disease_n and_o leprosy_n stick_v in_o his_o forehead_n and_o not_o only_a when_o man_n break_v the_o law_n of_o justice_n but_o when_o they_o break_v the_o law_n of_o charity_n that_o can_v withhold_v what_o they_o ought_v or_o may_v do_v or_o be_v call_v upon_o to_o do_v in_o that_o way_n wither_v his_o hand_n from_o give_v alm_n straiten_v he_o from_o his_o own_o flesh_n it_o be_v death_n with_o he_o to_o part_v with_o any_o thing_n in_o a_o word_n when_o he_o can_v dispense_v with_o the_o love_n of_o god_n himself_o and_o

his_o neighbour_n break_v the_o duty_n of_o love_n justice_n and_o charity_n and_o all_o for_o the_o love_n of_o money_n this_o be_v a_o clear_a character_n of_o inordinatenesse_n after_o riches_n and_o worldly_a thing_n luke_n chap._n 12._o ver._n 15._o and_o he_o say_v unto_o they_o take_v heed_n and_o beware_v of_o covetousness_n thus_o of_o the_o description_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o covetousness_n i_o shall_v add_v a_o word_n concern_v the_o second_o 2._o the_o distribution_n of_o it_o and_o so_o it_o may_v receive_v a_o distribution_n or_o distinction_n three_o way_n 1._o in_o regard_n of_o the_o subject_n 2._o in_o regard_n of_o the_o state_n in_o which_o it_o may_v be_v 3._o in_o regard_n of_o the_o degree_n i._o in_o regard_n of_o the_o subject_n there_o be_v a_o double_a kind_n of_o covetousness_n 1._o it_o may_v be_v incident_a to_o the_o godly_a as_o a_o concomitant_a be_v the_o relic_n of_o original_a sin_n the_o seed_n of_o all_o vice_n be_v in_o he_o and_o so_o there_o be_v a_o natural_a propensity_n still_o remain_v towards_o covetousness_n even_o in_o a_o godly_a man_n but_o it_o be_v but_o a_o concomitant_a it_o do_v not_o bear_v sway_n at_o all_o in_o he_o for_o in_o some_o measure_n it_o be_v subdue_v and_o mortify_v although_o it_o may_v be_v something_o more_o or_o less_o towards_o predominancy_n it_o may_v be_v consider_v in_o a_o godly_a man_n as_o diligent_o oppose_v a_o godly_a man_n be_v upon_o his_o watch_n if_o there_o be_v any_o root_n of_o bitterness_n in_o he_o which_o incline_v he_o towards_o covetousness_n he_o will_v watch_v over_o it_o and_o oppose_v and_o set_v himself_o against_o it_o he_o will_v keep_v a_o narrow_a watch_n over_o his_o soul_n because_o he_o be_v conscious_a of_o his_o inclination_n thereunto_o 2._o the_o other_o kind_n of_o covetousness_n be_v incident_a to_o a_o wicked_a man_n and_o it_o be_v in_o he_o predominant_a he_o be_v a_o servant_n and_o a_o slave_n he_o mak●s_v it_o his_o call_n he_o give_v himself_o over_o and_o subject_n himself_o to_o it_o it_o rule_v he_o for_o he_o be_v whole_o bend_v that_o way_n but_o this_o admit_v of_o some_o difference_n viz._n even_o in_o a_o wicked_a man_n it_o may_v be_v sometime_o enrage_v like_o a_o flame_n with_o infinite_a fury_n so_o that_o it_o bear_v down_o all_o before_o it_o sometime_o also_o it_o may_v be_v restrain_v there_o may_v be_v restrain_v grace_n in_o a_o wicked_a man_n that_o keep_v he_o from_o exorbitancy_n though_o there_o be_v no_o save_v grace_n to_o mortify_v it_o and_o so_o it_o retain_v the_o same_o nature_n of_o covetousness_n herein_o he_o be_v like_o the_o fox_n the_o disposition_n of_o fox_n be_v to_o devour_v when_o he_o be_v in_o the_o chain_n yet_o he_o devour_v not_o the_o lamb_n because_o he_o be_v chain_v a_o wicked_a covetous_a man_n may_v have_v the_o same_o wild_a disposition_n in_o he_o which_o be_v natural_a but_o god_n may_v bridle_v &_o curb_v he_o from_o act_v and_o keep_v he_o in_o fair_a term_n that_o he_o be_v not_o so_o outrageous_a as_o many_o be_v ii_o another_o distinction_n of_o covetousness_n be_v in_o regard_n of_o the_o different_a state_n of_o covetousness_n in_o those_o person_n where_o it_o be_v godly_a or_o wicked_a man_n there_o be_v no_o estate_n wherein_o it_o be_v but_o it_o be_v a_o crime_n be_v it_o in_o the_o low_a estate_n 1._o sometime_o covetousness_n may_v be_v criminal_a as_o it_o may_v be_v subservient_fw-fr not_o the_o main_a vice_n but_o a_o servant_n to_o other_o vice_n covetousness_n as_o a_o sin_n may_v serve_v some_o other_o lust_n although_o i_o can_v denominate_v covetousness_n to_o be_v the_o roll_a sin_n yet_o it_o be_v in_o a_o man_n and_o serve_v his_o turn_n as_o a_o side-wind_n to_o serve_v some_o other_o lust_n as_o for_o example_n sometime_o a_o man_n principal_a sin_n be_v pride_n now_o because_o pride_n must_v have_v something_o to_o maintain_v it_o and_o therefore_o a_o man_n must_v use_v his_o covetousness_n as_o a_o servant_n to_o his_o pride_n to_o furnish_v that_o to_o bring_v he_o in_o trappings_o for_o his_o pride_n which_o otherwise_o will_v be_v hungry_a pride_n will_v starve_v itself_o without_o it_o this_o be_v frequent_a man_n will_v scrape_v and_o rape_n and_o keep_v a_o foul_a ado_n to_o oppress_v grate_n and_o grind_v the_o face_n of_o man_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o do_v principal_o out_o of_o covetousness_n but_o rather_o as_o a_o act_n of_o pride_n covetousness_n be_v a_o servant_n to_o pride_n alas_o his_o sin_n may_v not_o be_v covetousness_n he_o glori_v not_o in_o hoard_v up_o money_n but_o he_o must_v live_v at_o such_o a_o rate_n in_o such_o a_o fashion_n he_o must_v have_v gay_a clothes_n and_o he_o be_v necessitate_v to_o be_v covetous_a not_o because_o his_o inclination_n be_v thereunto_o but_o because_o he_o can_v else_o support_v his_o pride_n another_o corruption_n that_o covetousness_n wait_v upon_o be_v lust_n a_o man_n which_o be_v give_v to_o lust_n he_o can_v feed_v his_o lust_n without_o meat_n and_z drink_n to_o stuff_n the_o pot_n he_o can_v maintain_v his_o harlot_n or_o nourish_v himself_o in_o that_o sin_n nor_o

love_n thereunto_o covetousness_n be_v not_o his_o sin_n but_o a_o servant_n to_o his_o lust_n so_o that_o in_o both_o these_o respect_n covetousness_n may_v be_v in_o a_o man_n but_o yet_o in_o the_o estate_n of_o a_o servant_n 2._o sometime_o also_o covetousness_n be_v not_o only_o the_o criminal_a but_o the_o capital_a vice_n which_o do_v apparent_o denominate_v a_o man_n to_o be_v a_o covetous_a man_n although_o he_o may_v have_v other_o vice_n yet_o this_o be_v the_o chief_a this_o be_v his_o grace_n and_o in_o this_o case_n covetousness_n be_v a_o friend_n to_o he_o it_o be_v instead_o of_o pride_n for_o he_o pride_n himself_o in_o his_o great_a estate_n and_o herein_o covetousness_n be_v not_o a_o servant_n to_o pride_n but_o the_o very_a throne_n of_o pride_n which_o make_v his_o pride_n sit_v high_a he_o be_v proud_a but_o upon_o conceit_n of_o his_o great_a heap_n of_o money_n look_v over_o the_o shoulder_n of_o his_o poor_a neighbour_n and_o thus_o a_o man_n be_v proud_a but_o it_o issue_v from_o his_o bag_n his_o great_a estate_n covetousness_n be_v the_o main_a sin_n so_o in_o many_o other_o kind_n a_o man_n may_v instance_n wherein_o covetousness_n be_v the_o master-sinne_n when_o a_o man_n make_v it_o his_o glory_n and_o his_o very_a trade_n to_o gather_v a_o great_a estate_n together_o not_o for_o any_o use_n of_o it_o but_o that_o he_o can_v get_v such_o a_o estate_n iii_o the_o last_o distinction_n of_o covetousness_n be_v in_o regard_n of_o the_o degree_n as_o all_o virtue_n and_o vice_n they_o be_v capable_a of_o degree_n it_o may_v be_v in_o some_o less_o in_o some_o more_o in_o some_o it_o may_v be_v hardly_o discern_v in_o other_o so_o palpable_a that_o it_o may_v be_v feel_v there_o be_v a_o sordid_a base_a covetousness_n that_o all_o the_o world_n may_v see_v a_o man_n be_v covetous_a he_o bear_v it_o in_o his_o forehead_n in_o every_o act_n that_o he_o do_v in_o all_o his_o carriage_n and_o course_n other_o sly_o

at_o least_o carrying_z it_o a_o great_a deal_n better_o 2._o now_o to_o come_v brief_o to_o the_o predicate_v or_o the_o thing_n we_o affirm_v concern_v covetousness_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n that_o i_o have_v propound_v in_o the_o point_n concern_v covetousness_n first_o something_o in_o regard_n of_o itself_o second_o something_o in_o respect_n as_o it_o stand_v to_o we_o 1._o in_o regard_n of_o itself_o there_o be_v these_o four_o property_n of_o covetousness_n that_o i_o shall_v note_v 1._o it_o be_v a_o subtle_a and_o a_o sly_a sin_n hardly_o discern_v by_o every_o man_n neither_o in_o himself_o nor_o other_o a_o man_n may_v be_v in_o before_o he_o be_v aware_a and_o that_o arise_v partly_o from_o a_o general_a ground_n of_o vice_n because_o all_o vice_n be_v subtle_a and_o sly_a they_o can_v borrow_v habit_n and_o dress_v themselves_o in_o the_o attire_n of_o virtue_n covetousness_n may_v claim_v kindred_n with_o and_o go_v under_o the_o habit_n of_o frugality_n partly_o upon_o a_o particular_a ground_n there_o be_v something_o in_o covetousness_n which_o make_v it_o more_o hard_a to_o be_v discern_v because_o there_o be_v more_o fair_a plea_n for_o this_o than_o for_o any_o other_o sin_n in_o the_o world_n as_o to_o
