desire_n of_o riches_n do_v not_o therefore_o proceed_v of_o imperfection_n of_o nature_n all_o man_n natural_o do_v desire_v riches_n as_o meat_n or_o drink_v not_o because_o excess_n of_o they_o

without_o eat_v &_o drink_v we_o can_v live_v so_o be_v it_o lawful_a to_o desire_v riches_n for_o to_o have_v nothing_o nor_o know_v which_o way_n to_o get_v be_v contrary_a to_o nature_n and_o yet_o
