that_o still_o we_o shall_v be_v ready_a to_o die_v and_o to_o leave_v all_o for_o christ._n and_o this_o may_v serve_v for_o answer_v to_o the_o second_o question_n hence_o arise_v a_o three_o scruple_n whether_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o desire_v riches_n and_o abundance_n to_o which_o we_o answer_v 1._o by_o a_o distinction_n of_o riches_n which_o may_v be_v consider_v 1_o as_o they_o be_v necessary_a and_o sufficient_a and_o so_o a_o small_a thing_n may_v be_v count_v riches_n as_o content_v nature_n and_o be_v sufficient_a for_o us._n 2._o they_o may_v be_v consider_v as_o they_o be_v in_o the_o estimation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o in_o their_o own_o nature_n and_o so_o abundance_n be_v to_o be_v deem_v riches_n &_o so_o they_o be_v unnecessary_a a_o 2._o difference_n now_o to_o be_v consider_v be_v of_o the_o person_n which_o may_v desire_v they_o which_o be_v of_o two_o sort_n first_o public_a such_o who_o calling_n can_v be_v well_o execute_v without_o abundance_n as_o that_o of_o the_o magistrate_n and_o such_o other_o public_a calling_n second_o some_o person_n be_v private_a and_o these_o also_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o charge_n and_o such_o like_a occasion_n may_v lawful_o desire_v more_o or_o less_o a_o 3._o difference_n be_v in_o respect_n of_o our_o desire_n which_o be_v either_o absolute_a such_o as_o require_v simple_o the_o performance_n of_o what_o we_o desire_v such_o as_o be_v all_o desire_n for_o spiritual_a grace_n which_o for_o the_o grace_n simple_o must_v be_v absolute_a though_o for_o the_o measure_n thereof_o they_o may_v be_v conditional_a 2._o our_o desire_n be_v conditional_a with_o subjection_n to_o god_n will_v as_o may_v make_v most_o for_o his_o glory_n and_o our_o good_a and_o so_o ought_v all_o our_o desire_n be_v for_o earthly_a thing_n because_o that_o god_n have_v so_o only_o promise_v they_o as_o they_o shall_v be_v for_o our_o good_a and_o so_o must_v we_o only_o desire_v they_o out_o of_o these_o distinction_n arise_v these_o conclusion_n 1_o first_o we_o may_v general_o desire_v riches_n as_o they_o be_v in_o the_o first_o sense_n necessary_a and_o sufficient_a not_o as_o they_o be_v less_o necessary_a &_o abundant_a genes_n 28._o deuter._n 17._o 16._o 17._o 1_o tim._n 6._o 8._o 2_o second_o we_o may_v desire_v what_o may_v aswell_o fit_v our_o calling_n as_o person_n though_o this_o may_v be_v satisfy_v with_o less_o yet_o the_o calling_n may_v desire_v more_o and_o so_o such_o calling_n as_o require_v state_n and_o majesty_n may_v require_v abundance_n yet_o so_o as_o that_o 3_o all_z our_o desire_n for_o these_o thing_n must_v be_v conditional_a submit_v to_o god_n pleasure_n both_o for_o the_o thing_n as_o also_o for_o the_o mean_n to_o obtain_v the_o same_o and_o so_o for_o the_o measure_n and_o continuance_n thereof_o unto_o we_o and_o so_o not_o enlarge_v by_o our_o own_o covetous_a mind_n but_o confine_v to_o the_o judgement_n and_o example_n of_o the_o most_o sober_a and_o frugal_a person_n and_o therefore_o 4_o all_o our_o desire_n for_o these_o thing_n must_v be_v accompany_v with_o prayer_n unto_o god_n both_o for_o the_o thing_n we_o desire_v as_o also_o for_o the_o measure_n and_o blessing_n thereon_o thus_o may_v we_o lawful_o desire_v riches_n a_o four_o question_n arise_v hereupon_o whether_o we_o may_v use_v such_o mean_n for_o the_o gather_n of_o riches_n as_o man_n law_n do_v tolerate_v quaere_fw-la and_o come_v not_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o the_o penalty_n thereof_o as_o usury_n monopoly_n letter_n of_o mart_n trade_v

we_o answer_v first_o by_o some_o general_a rule_n to_o all_o 1._o that_o whatsoever_o be_v not_o against_o the_o law_n of_o equity_n and_o charity_n without_o intent_n to_o deceive_v as_o we_o will_v be_v do_v unto_o that_o may_v lawful_o be_v do_v herein_o that_o wherein_o the_o law_n of_o man_n be_v subordinate_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n we_o may_v safe_o venture_v that_o the_o law_n of_o man_n may_v dispense_v with_o some_o thing_n which_o yet_o it_o allow_v not_o simple_o but_o so_o only_o tolerate_v as_o to_o prevent_v a_o worse_a mischief_n so_o confine_n in_o the_o toleration_n as_o indeed_o in_o a_o manner_n imply_v the_o impossiblitie_n of_o what_o it_o tolerate_v or_o condemn_v the_o same_o of_o this_o nature_n be_v usury_n which_o though_o it_o be_v tolerate_v by_o man_n

the_o same_o and_o that_o rather_o for_o the_o borrower_n sake_n than_o the_o lender_n so_o that_o oppression_n be_v hereby_o avoid_v and_o the_o rule_n of_o equity_n be_v observe_v which_o because_o
