for_o this_o cause_n covetousness_n be_v call_v idolatry_n now_o the_o apostle_n to_o make_v we_o to_o love_v godliness_n he_o call_v it_o by_o the_o name_n of_o great_a gain_n hear_v we_o may_v see_v that_o god_n do_v not_o command_v man_n to_o be_v godly_a only_o because_o it_o make_v for_o his_o glory_n but_o because_o godliness_n be_v profitable_a to_o us._n also_o for_o godliness_n be_v not_o

because_o it_o be_v the_o health_n of_o our_o soul_n so_o it_o be_v not_o call_v a_o kingdom_n in_o respect_n of_o god_n but_o in_o respect_n of_o we_o because_o we_o be_v entitle_v to_o the_o

and_o pleasure_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o godly_a the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v their_o treasure_n but_o the_o riches_n of_o the_o world_n be_v call_v earthly_a transitory_a snare_n dung_n as_o though_o they_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v count_v riches_n and_o therefore_o to_o draw_v the_o earnest_a love_n of_o man_n from_o they_o the_o holy_a ghost_n bring_v they_o in_o with_o such_o name_n of_o disdain_n to_o disgrace_v they_o with_o their_o lover_n but_o when_o he_o come_v to_o godliness_n which_o be_v the_o riches_n of_o the_o soul_n than_o he_o call_v it_o great_a riches_n heavenly_a riches_n unsearchable_a riches_n everlasting_a riches_n with_o all_o the_o name_n of_o pleasure_n and_o all_o the_o name_n of_o happiness_n the_o worldly_a man_n have_v a_o

have_v his_o honour_n to_o be_v call_v great_a gain_n riches_n make_v bate_v but_o godliness_n make_v peace_n riches_n breed_v covetousness_n but_o godliness_n bring_v contentation_n riches_n make_v a_o man_n unwilling_a to_o die_v but_o godliness_n make_v a_o man_n ready_a to_o die_v therefore_o only_a godliness_n have_v this_o honour_n to_o be_v call_v great_a riches_n such_o joy_n such_o peace_n be_v in_o godliness_n and_o yet_o no_o man_n covet_v it_o for_o this_o be_v the_o quality_n of_o virtue_n it_o seem_v nothing_o unto_o a_o man_n until_o he_o have_v it_o but_o when_o he_o have_v find_v it_o he_o will_v not_o then_o lose_v it_o again_o for_o all_o the_o world_n because_o it_o bring_v he_o to_o be_v content_v with_o that_o he_o have_v now_o because_o contentation_n be_v of_o such_o a_o nature_n that_o it_o can_v please_v itself_o with_o poverty_n aswell_o as_o riches_n as_o though_o it_o have_v all_o which_o they_o want_v and_o this_o contentment_n we_o owe_v to_o godliness_n because_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a for_o a_o wicked_a man_n to_o be_v content_v but_o the_o godly_a man_n have_v find_v that_o which_o all_o the_o world_n do_v seek_v that_o be_v enough_o it_o be_v seldom_o see_v that_o contentation_n be_v find_v in_o riches_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n teach_v we_o to_o seek_v it_o in_o godliness_n say_v godliness_n be_v great_a riches_n and_o this_o riches_n the_o world_n seldom_o think_v of_o but_o when_o godliness_n come_v unto_o a_o man_n it_o say_v peace_n be_v in_o this_o house_n peace_n be_v in_o this_o heart_n peace_n be_v in_o this_o man_n and_o this_o be_v the_o sign_n whether_o godliness_n be_v in_o a_o man_n if_o he_o have_v joy_n and_o contentment_n with_o that_o he_o have_v if_o he_o have_v much_o he_o can_v say_v with_o saint_n paul_n i_o have_v learned_a to_o abound_v if_o he_o have_v little_a i_o have_v learned_a to_o want_v that_o be_v if_o we_o have_v much_o as_o abraham_n as_o lot_n as_o job_n as_o jacob_n etc._n etc._n yet_o it_o can_v corrupt_v his_o mind_n for_o though_o the_o godly_a man_n be_v full_a of_o riches_n yet_o his_o heart_n be_v not_o rend_v his_o mind_n be_v not_o trouble_v his_o countenance_n be_v not_o change_v because_o he_o remember_v that_o these_o thing_n be_v give_v he_o to_o do_v good_a such_o a_o commander_n be_v contentation_n that_o wheresoever_o she_o set_v foot_n a_o hundred_o blessing_n wait_v upon_o she_o in_o every_o disease_n she_o be_v a_o physician_n in_o every_o strife_n she_o be_v a_o lawyer_n in_o every_o doubt_n she_o be_v a_o preacher_n in_o every_o

godliness_n shall_v seem_v as_o great_a gain_n unto_o we_o as_o it_o do_v to_o saint_n paul_n and_o he_o which_o love_v the_o world_n most_o will_v give_v all_o that_o he_o have_v for_o a_o dram_n of_o faith_n that_o he_o may_v be_v sure_a to_o go_v to_o heaven_n when_o he_o be_v dead_a though_o he_o go_v towards_o hell_n so_o long_o as_o he_o live_v thus_o we_o may_v see_v the_o fruit_n of_o godliness_n and_o the_o fruit_n of_o covetousness_n for_o if_o we_o be_v covetous_a we_o shall_v never_o have_v enough_o although_o we_o have_v too_o much_o but_o if_o we_o be_v godly_a we_o shall_v have_v enough_o though_o we_o seem_v to_o have_v nothing_o therefore_o what_o counsel_n be_v there_o to_o be_v take_v herein_o but_o as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n counsel_v his_o disciple_n be_v not_o

of_o man_n with_o a_o brief_a note_n how_o the_o most_o part_n of_o this_o world_n do_v run_v contrary_a in_o this_o point_n and_o do_v not_o take_v care_n of_o that_o duty_n and_o business_n for_o
