will_v shut_v up_o this_o point_n with_o that_o worthy_a say_n of_o a_o faithful_a orator_n of_o 3._o titus_n livius_n lib._n 3._o rome_n call_v quintius_n capitolinus_n who_o on_o a_o time_n make_v a_o oration_n to_o the_o roman_n after_o he_o have_v lively_o show_v they_o their_o fault_n in_o that_o they_o cease_v not_o to_o disobey_v their_o superior_n whereby_o some_o great_a disorder_n and_o confusion_n may_v fall_v to_o the_o commonwealth_n add_v in_o the_o end_n these_o word_n master_n i_o know_v well_o that_o a_o man_n may_v utter_v more_o pleasant_a talk_n and_o tell_v you_o of_o thing_n more_o plausible_a but_o as_o for_o i_o my_o nature_n be_v not_o to_o flatter_v and_o the_o present_a necessity_n cause_v that_o i_o love_v rather_o to_o tell_v you_o true_a thing_n then_o pleasant_a i_o have_v a_o good_a mind_n to_o please_v and_o content_v you_o but_o i_o love_v much_o better_a to_o preserve_v and_o guard_v you_o from_o fall_v into_o destruction_n how_o little_a thank_v soever_o i_o have_v of_o you_o these_o remonstrance_n and_o word_n of_o this_o good_a man_n be_v of_o such_o efficacy_n say_v titus_n livius_n by_o the_o pure_a and_o native_a truth_n which_o he_o show_v unto_o the_o people_n without_o flattery_n that_o he_o appease_v the_o tumult_n and_o discontentment_n of_o the_o city_n so_o i_o doubt_v not_o my_o brethren_n but_o that_o see_v i_o may_v appeal_v with_o our_o apostle_n to_o your_o knowledge_n and_o conscience_n that_o my_o carriage_n in_o speak_v unto_o you_o have_v be_v without_o flattery_n in_o sincere_a plainness_n but_o that_o in_o the_o end_n i_o shall_v attain_v to_o salomon_n experience_n namely_o he_o that_o reprove_v a_o 23._o prou._n 28._o 23._o man_n shall_v find_v more_o favour_n at_o the_o length_n than_o he_o that_o flatter_v with_o his_o mouth_n the_o second_o sermon_n 1._o thess_n 2._o 5._o nor_o colour_v covetousness_n god_n be_v record_n you_o have_v hear_v belove_v in_o our_o best_a belove_a jesus_n christ_n that_o the_o apostle_n bend_v be_v to_o persuade_v the_o thessalonian_o to_o persevere_v in_o that_o doctrine_n which_o he_o and_o his_o fellow_n have_v teach_v they_o and_o to_o this_o end_n he_o produce_v diverse_a reason_n the_o last_o and_o not_o the_o least_o whereof_o be_v that_o they_o have_v teach_v they_o in_o all_o sound_a sincereness_n and_o to_o this_o end_n he_o endevour_v in_o this_o verse_n and_o the_o next_o to_o remove_v such_o capital_a fault_n as_o may_v tax_v they_o of_o insincerenesse_n and_o these_o be_v three_o in_o number_n to_o wit_n adulation_n avarice_n and_o ambition_n which_o three_o be_v as_o noisome_a to_o sincereness_n in_o religion_n and_o doctrine_n as_o pestilence_n sword_n and_o famine_n be_v to_o soundness_n in_o a_o commonwealth_n of_o the_o first_o of_o adulation_n i_o have_v speak_v already_o now_o follow_v the_o second_o of_o avarice_n in_o these_o word_n neither_o use_v we_o colour_v covetousness_n god_n be_v record_n wherein_o as_o in_o the_o former_a of_o adulation_n because_o it_o be_v more_o gross_a and_o palpable_a he_o appeal_v to_o their_o knowledge_n so_o here_o in_o this_o sin_n of_o covetousness_n because_o it_o be_v more_o inward_a &_o secret_a he_o appeal_v to_o god_n record_n say_v neither_o use_v we_o colour_v covetousness_n god_n be_v record_n and_o as_o for_o the_o three_o of_o ambition_n either_o for_o praise_n or_o profit_n he_o clear_v it_o in_o the_o sequels_fw-fr by_o their_o own_o practice_n and_o think_v that_o if_o he_o free_v himself_o of_o these_o three_o he_o shall_v sufficient_o confirm_v his_o assertion_n of_o their_o sincereness_n not_o only_o in_o doctrine_n but_o also_o in_o the_o manner_n thereof_o tax_v by_o the_o way_n the_o false_a teacher_n with_o these_o three_o which_o in_o who_o soever_o they_o be_v find_v they_o prove_v the_o corrupter_n of_o their_o ministry_n and_o the_o ruinater_n of_o the_o church_n now_o in_o follow_v of_o this_o stream_n of_o covetousness_n i_o will_v observe_v the_o same_o order_n that_o i_o do_v in_o the_o former_a of_o flattery_n for_o i_o will_v handle_v these_o four_o circumstance_n first_o i_o will_v show_v what_o covetousness_n be_v second_o how_o manifold_a it_o be_v and_o what_o be_v the_o part_n thereof_o three_o how_o foul_a and_o monstrous_a a_o sin_n it_o be_v and_o four_o that_o the_o minister_n that_o be_v carry_v away_o with_o it_o can_v be_v sincere_a final_o these_o head_n be_v handle_v i_o will_v draw_v forth_o some_o use_n and_o the_o remedy_n that_o we_o be_v to_o make_v of_o it_o for_o the_o first_o what_o it_o be_v the_o latin_n derive_v this_o word_n avarice_n from_o aueo_fw-la &_o ab_fw-la auro_fw-la vel_fw-la be_v so_o that_o they_o make_v covetousness_n to_o be_v a_o immoderate_a desire_n of_o money_n or_o gold_n the_o greek_n call_v it_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d which_o signify_v a_o immoderate_a desire_n to_o have_v more_o so_o that_o how_o much_o soever_o the_o covetous_a man_n have_v yet_o not_o therewith_o content_v he_o still_o desire_v more_o in_o like_a sense_n the_o hebrew_n call_v it_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d which_o be_v a_o over_o earnest_a desire_n of_o gain_n which_o be_v never_o without_o oppression_n and_o wrong_n hence_o than_o i_o may_v thus_o define_v it_o viz._n that_o covetousness_n be_v a_o base_a affection_n of_o the_o mind_n arise_v from_o mistrustfulnesse_n of_o god_n in_o his_o providence_n whereby_o one_o do_v so_o immoderate_o desire_v earthly_a riches_n as_o that_o never_o content_v with_o that_o which_o he_o have_v he_o still_o desire_v more_o than_o he_o have_v respect_v neither_o right_a nor_o wrong_v do_v to_o other_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o he_o may_v attain_v his_o desire_n for_o himself_o all_o which_o be_v obtain_v he_o still_o want_v as_o well_o that_o he_o have_v as_o that_o he_o have_v not_o for_o that_o which_o he_o have_v he_o dare_v not_o enjoy_v for_o fear_v of_o necessity_n and_o he_o still_o vex_v himself_o with_o the_o want_n of_o that_o he_o have_v not_o because_o he_o will_v abound_v so_o that_o still_o want_v the_o use_n of_o that_o he_o have_v and_o the_o possession_n of_o that_o he_o have_v not_o he_o be_v ever_o vex_v with_o woeful_a perplexity_n which_o definition_n consider_v with_o his_o cause_n will_v appear_v to_o be_v the_o more_o absolute_a the_o efficient_a cause_n whereof_o be_v infidelity_n even_o a_o mistrust_v of_o god_n in_o his_o alsufficient_a providence_n and_o a_o trust_n in_o uncertain_a riches_n and_o therefore_o our_o apostle_n term_v covetousness_n idolatry_n because_o the_o covetous_a man_n attribute_n that_o to_o riches_n which_o belong_v to_o god_n viz._n trust_v and_o confidence_n the_o matter_n of_o his_o desire_n be_v worldly_a gain_n which_o like_o the_o world_n be_v mutable_a and_o fade_a the_o formal_a cause_n be_v his_o immoderate_a desire_n of_o riches_n which_o can_v be_v satisfy_v the_o final_a cause_n be_v philautia_n a_o desire_n to_o set_v himself_o alone_o aloft_o and_o this_o monster_n like_o a_o cerberus_n have_v three_o head_n viz._n fear_v of_o poverty_n love_n of_o pleasure_n and_o love_n of_o glory_n whereupon_o saint_n ambrose_n right_o compare_v avarice_n to_o a_o strumpet_n in_o a_o lady_n habit_n sit_v on_o a_o chariot_n support_v with_o four_o wheel_n viz._n faint_a courage_n inhuman_a carriage_n contempt_n of_o god_n and_o forgetfulness_n of_o death_n this_o chariot_n he_o make_v to_o be_v draw_v with_o two_o black_a horse_n the_o one_o he_o name_v ravine_v and_o the_o other_o nigardship_n to_o these_o both_o there_o be_v but_o one_o carter_n and_o he_o be_v name_v desire_n to_o have_v this_o carter_n drive_v with_o a_o whip_n have_v two_o cord_n the_o one_o name_v appetite_n to_o get_v and_o the_o other_o dread_a to_o forgo_v thus_o you_o see_v what_o covetousness_n be_v and_o how_o she_o be_v mount_v now_o if_o you_o expect_v that_o i_o shall_v set_v open_a and_o anatomise_v unto_o you_o all_o the_o part_n and_o member_n of_o this_o huge_a monster_n covetousness_n i_o confess_v that_o it_o surpass_v my_o reach_n for_o as_o it_o be_v seat_v in_o the_o soul_n which_o be_v a_o spirit_n so_o it_o arise_v from_o the_o affection_n or_o desire_n which_o be_v infinite_a and_o therefore_o it_o be_v in_o nature_n infinite_a her_o part_n be_v also_o
