high-minded_a again_o riches_n bear_v such_o a_o sway_n in_o the_o world_n and_o man_n do_v set_v so_o much_o by_o they_o that_o neither_o wisdom_n in_o council_n nor_o valour_n in_o the_o field_n nor_o law_n in_o the_o judgement_n seat_n nor_o learning_n in_o the_o school_n nor_o eloquence_n at_o the_o bar_n nor_o yet_o divinity_n itself_o be_v whole_o exempt_a from_o their_o spread_a influence_n for_o we_o have_v know_v christ_n himself_o become_v the_o price_n of_o money_n and_o his_o temple_n turn_v into_o a_o house_n of_o merchandise_n not_o to_o say_v worse_o nay_o so_o universal_o do_v riches_n obtain_v that_o solomon_n dare_v affirm_v even_o of_o one_o part_n of_o they_o that_o money_n alone_o answer_v all_o thing_n eccles_n x._o 19_o from_o whence_o i_o draw_v this_o argument_n that_o if_o rich_a man_n be_v master_n of_o such_o riches_n as_o all_o the_o world_n do_v set_v much_o by_o then_o it_o be_v no_o great_a wonder_n if_o all_o the_o world_n do_v set_v much_o by_o those_o man_n that_o be_v master_n of_o those_o riches_n and_o if_o all_o the_o world_n do_v set_v much_o by_o they_o then_o it_o be_v very_o hard_a it_o be_v very_o extreme_a hard_a if_o rich_a man_n do_v not_o set_v as_o much_o if_o not_o more_o by_o themselves_o and_o what_o be_v it_o to_o set_v much_o by_o a_o man_n self_n but_o to_o be_v proud_a and_o therefore_o also_o riches_n be_v apt_a to_o make_v man_n high-minded_a what_o be_v say_v of_o knowledge_n be_v equal_o applicable_a to_o all_o (null)_o advantage_n they_o puff_v up_o 1_o cor._n viij_o 1_o and_o here_o now_o see_v riches_n be_v so_o apt_a to_o make_v man_n high-minded_a ought_v not_o all_o man_n to_o be_v extreme_a cautious_a how_o they_o entertain_v they_o for_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v drink_v a_o cup_n of_o deadly_a poison_n and_o shall_v immediate_o thereupon_o drop_v down_o dead_a in_o thy_o sight_n will_v thou_o have_v any_o great_a desire_n to_o pledge_v he_o in_o the_o same_o liquor_n or_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v throw_v himself_o into_o a_o burn_a fiery_a furnace_n and_o shall_v present_o be_v eat_v up_o by_o that_o devour_a element_n will_v thou_o be_v such_o a_o good_a fellow_n as_o to_o throw_v thyself_o in_o after_o he_o to_o bear_v he_o company_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v as_o equal_a if_o not_o a_o great_a folly_n for_o any_o man_n to_o set_v his_o mind_n upon_o the_o get_n of_o riches_n that_o do_v usual_o prove_v thus_o fatal_a to_o all_o their_o owner_n for_o say_v solomon_n this_o be_v a_o sore_a evil_n which_o i_o have_v see_v under_o the_o sun_n riches_n keep_v to_o the_o owner_n hurt_n eccles_n v_o 13_o and_o dont_fw-fr thau_fw-fr be_v over_o confident_a but_o that_o this_o may_v be_v thy_o fate_n too_o do_v thou_o be_v so_o foolhardy_a as_o to_o adventure_v thyself_o upon_o that_o rock_n upon_o which_o so_o many_o before_o thou_o have_v suffer_v shipwreck_n cast_v not_o thyself_o into_o that_o gulf_n in_o which_o so_o many_o have_v lose_v their_o life_n and_o assure_v thyself_o this_o be_v no_o unseasonable_a caution_n for_o riches_n have_v now_o the_o same_o bewitch_a nature_n that_o they_o always_o have_v and_o man_n nature_n now_o be_v as_o easy_o bewitch_v by_o they_o as_o ever_o it_o be_v and_o therefore_o riches_n be_v now_o as_o able_a to_o make_v the_o same_o impression_n upon_o man_n and_o man_n be_v as_o ready_a to_o receive_v the_o same_o impression_n as_o ever_o they_o be_v riches_n i_o say_v be_v now_o as_o able_a to_o work_v the_o same_o effect_n upon_o man_n and_o man_n be_v as_o easy_o wrought_v upon_o what_o then_o can_v any_o man_n think_v but_o that_o riches_n will_v make_v man_n as_o proud_a now_o as_o ever_o they_o do_v especial_o see_v the_o advantage_n on_o nature_n side_n be_v far_o more_o now_o than_o ever_o for_o the_o more_o the_o world_n grow_v the_o worse_a it_o grow_v its_o year_n and_o its_o corruption_n its_o old_a age_n and_o its_o infirmity_n come_v upon_o it_o with_o a_o equal_a pace_n and_o make_v their_o advance_n both_o alike_o and_o therefore_o see_v rich_a man_n be_v so_o apt_a to_o be_v proud_a and_o see_v that_o pride_n be_v a_o sin_n that_o god_n abhor_v above_o all_o other_o and_o so_o render_v man_n liable_a to_o the_o great_a punishment_n i_o can_v content_v myself_o with_o the_o bare_a proof_n of_o that_o aptitude_n there_o be_v in_o riches_n to_o make_v man_n proud_a but_o i_o must_v also_o second_v it_o with_o such_o reason_n as_o may_v dissuade_v they_o from_o such_o a_o insufferable_a vanity_n and_o first_o of_o all_o he_o that_o be_v proud_a of_o his_o riches_n be_v proud_a of_o those_o that_o be_v lawful_o or_o those_o that_o be_v unlawful_o get_v if_o they_o be_v lawful_o get_v than_o he_o owe_v they_o only_o to_o god_n who_o blessing_n it_o be_v that_o make_v rich_a prov._n x._o 22_o and_o the_o praise_n of_o riches_n belong_v not_o to_o he_o that_o be_v make_v but_o to_o he_o that_o make_v rich._n and_o then_o how_o can_v he_o value_v himself_o for_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o owe_v to_o himself_o how_o can_v he_o value_v himself_o for_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o his_o own_o this_o be_v just_o such_o another_o folly_n as_o if_o a_o pen_n shall_v assume_v to_o its_o self_n the_o writer_n praise_n or_o as_o if_o a_o wall_n shall_v fancy_n those_o beam_n that_o shine_v upon_o it_o to_o be_v of_o its_o own_o product_n and_o if_o they_o be_v unlawful_o get_v then_o i_o hope_v he_o have_v far_o less_o reason_n to_o brag_v of_o they_o for_o this_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o brag_v of_o his_o sin_n and_o to_o be_v proud_a of_o hell_n and_o damnation_n 2._o a_o rich_a man_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v proud_a because_o he_o that_o be_v proud_a of_o his_o riches_n be_v proud_a of_o his_o own_o disgrace_n for_o all_o riches_n consist_v either_o in_o money_n land_n cattle_n a_o great_a retinue_n or_o the_o like_a and_o he_o that_o be_v proud_a of_o his_o revenue_n be_v proud_a of_o that_o and_o not_o of_o himself_o and_o so_o he_o prefer_v his_o servant_n before_o himself_o and_o so_o he_o be_v proud_a of_o his_o own_o disgrace_n for_o what_o great_a disgrace_n can_v there_o be_v than_o to_o have_v a_o man_n servant_n prefer_v before_o he_o what_o great_a disgrace_n can_v there_o be_v than_o to_o have_v the_o horse_n prefer_v before_o the_o rider_n the_o beast_n before_o the_o man_n and_o a_o clod_n of_o earth_n before_o the_o landlord_n and_o too_o by_o such_o a_o judgement_n as_o the_o landlord_n do_v most_o if_o not_o only_o esteem_v his_o own_o and_o i_o hope_v that_o if_o rich_a man_n prefer_v their_o beast_n before_o themselves_o they_o can_v take_v it_o amiss_o if_o other_o also_o out_o of_o a_o profound_a respect_n to_o their_o judgement_n entertain_v the_o same_o worthy_a opinion_n of_o they_o that_o they_o themselves_o do_v 3._o a_o rich_a man_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v proud_a because_o he_o have_v less_o reason_n to_o be_v proud_a than_o the_o poor_a beggar_n have_v for_o god_n see_v that_o a_o beggar_n will_v make_v a_o shift_n to_o live_v honest_o without_o riches_n and_o therefore_o he_o give_v he_o none_o but_o he_o see_v that_o a_o rich_a man_n will_v scarce_o be_v honest_a when_o he_o have_v riches_n and_o therefore_o he_o give_v they_o he_o that_o he_o may_v prevent_v his_o steal_n or_o worse_o and_o then_o on_o who_o side_n lie_v the_o advantage_n again_o he_o that_o be_v self-sufficient_a be_v the_o best_a and_o he_o that_o want_v few_o thing_n come_v next_o to_o selfsufficiency_n and_o therefore_o the_o poor_a man_n that_o have_v no_o need_n of_o half_a those_o trifle_n that_o the_o rich_a man_n can_v be_v without_o be_v more_o self-sufficient_a than_o he_o be_v and_o therefore_o be_v like_a god_n than_o he_o be_v and_o then_o also_o on_o who_o side_n lie_v the_o advantage_n again_o it_o be_v a_o noble_a thing_n to_o suffer_v a_o injury_n than_o to_o do_v a_o injury_n and_o therefore_o the_o rich_a man_n be_v the_o most_o proud_a and_o a_o proud_a man_n be_v the_o most_o injurious_a of_o the_o two_o who_o then_o be_v the_o better_a man_n of_o they_o and_o then_o also_o of_o who_o side_n lie_v the_o advantage_n again_o the_o uncertainty_n of_o riches_n be_v such_o that_o lie_v that_o be_v rich_a to_o day_n may_v be_v poor_a to_o morrow_n then_o and_o will_v be_v less_o pity_v by_o all_o man_n in_o his_o poverty_n the_o proud_a he_o be_v when_o he_o be_v rich_a and_o therefore_o also_o the_o rich_a man_n have_v less_o reason_n to_o be_v proud_a than_o the_o poor_a beggar_n have_v for_o the_o poor_a beggar_n have_v a_o possibility_n of_o become_v rich_a without_o the_o possibility_n of_o become_v poor_a unless_o any_o one_o steal_v
