the_o duty_n that_o god_n command_v to_o make_v heavenly_a friend_n with_o their_o earthly_a mammon_n save_v therefore_o our_o saviour_n pronounce_v such_o impossibility_n for_o a_o rich_a man_n to_o

of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n here_o in_o this_o life_n therefore_o behove_v it_o rich_a man_n to_o beware_v they_o place_v not_o their_o heart_n consolation_n upon_o these_o worldly_a &_o fleet_a
