34._o say_v david_n be_v better_a than_o great_a riches_n to_o the_o ungodly_a for_o when_o a_o man_n have_v find_v y_o e_o heavenly_a riches_n he_o care_v not_o for_o earthly_a riches_n no_o more_o

of_o such_o rest_n covetousness_n may_v gain_v riches_n but_o it_o can_v gain_v rest_n you_o may_v think_v iike_o this_o churl_n to_o rest_n when_o your_o barn_n and_o shop_n and_o coffer_n be_v

and_o lose_v many_o sermon_n forsake_v us._n like_o servant_n which_o change_v their_o master_n then_o godliness_n shall_v seem_v as_o great_a gain_n to_o we_o as_o it_o do_v to_o 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

till_o that_o you_o die_v first_o you_o be_v ungodly_a that_o you_o may_v be_v scotfree_a and_o then_o you_o part_v from_o some_o of_o your_o riches_n to_o excuse_v for_o your_o ungodliness_n it_o may_v be_v that_o some_o here_o have_v set_v down_o in_o their_o will_n when_o i_o die_v i_o bequeath_v a_o hundred_o pound_n to_o a_o college_n and_o a_o hundred_o pound_n to_o a_o hospital_n and_o

die_v and_o think_v when_o you_o be_v gove_n that_o god_n will_v take_v this_o for_o a_o quittance_n be_v not_o deceive_v for_o god_n do_v not_o look_v upon_o that_o which_o you_o do_v for_o fear_n but_o upon_o that_o which_o you_o do_v for_o love_n if_o you_o can_v find_v in_o your_o heart_n to_o do_v good_a while_o you_o be_v in_o health_n as_o zacheus_n do_v than_o god_n have_v respect_n unto_o your_o offering_n but_o before_o god_n harken_v how_o you_o give_v your_o riches_n first_o he_o examine_v how_o you_o come_v b●_n they_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o fruit_n of_o godliness_n and_o the_o fruit_n of_o covetousness_n if_o you_o be_v covetous_a you_o shall_v never_o have_v enough_o though_o you_o have_v too_o much_o if_o you_o be_v godly_a you_o shall_v have_v enough_o though_o

we_o count_v he_o scotfree_a which_o have_v his_o barn_n full_a like_o the_o 14._o churl_n 1._o his_o coffer_n full_a like_o the_o glutton_n his_o table_n full_a like_o baltasar_n his_o stable_n

9_o therefore_o if_o godliness_n be_v such_o gain_n how_o happen_v it_o that_o your_o share_n be_v no_o better_o so_o they_o which_o be_v like_o nicodemus_n when_o christ_n say_v they_o must_v be_v
