and_o therefore_o see_v the_o danger_n be_v so_o great_a and_o yet_o the_o sin_n so_o common_a need_v have_v we_o every_o one_o of_o we_o to_o pray_v to_o god_n with_o david_n to_o incline_v our_o

that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n 5_o heb._n 13._o 5_o exhort_v unto_o say_v let_v not_o your_o conversation_n be_v in_o covetousness_n but_o be_v content_a with_o that_o you_o have_v for_o he_o have_v say_v i_o will_v not_o fail_v thou_o nor_o forsake_v thou_o a_o notable_a example_n of_o this_o virtue_n we_o have_v in_o the_o apostle_n paul_n who_o have_v learn_v in_o whatsoever_o state_n he_o be_v therewith_o to_o be_v content_a 12._o phil._n 4._o 11._o 12._o and_o therefore_o he_o say_v i_o can_v be_v abase_v and_o i_o can_v abound_v every_o where_o and_o in_o all_o thing_n i_o be_o instruct_v both_o to_o be_v full_a and_o to_o be_v hungry_a to_o abound_v and_o to_o have_v want_n this_o which_o paul_n practise_v be_v soon_o say_v but_o not_o so_o soon_o do_v that_o we_o therefore_o may_v after_o his_o example_n be_v content_a in_o every_o state_n of_o life_n and_o shun_v this_o foul_a sin_n of_o covetousness_n let_v we_o consider_v of_o these_o preseruative_n first_o set_v before_o our_o eye_n the_o commandment_n of_o god_n that_o say_v thou_o shall_v not_o covet_v not_o thy_o neighbour_n house_n only_o but_o not_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v he_o for_o look_v what_o be_v sin_n to_o take_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o man_n be_v sin_n to_o wish_v in_o the_o eye_n of_o god_n but_o in_o man_n sight_n it_o be_v sin_n to_o take_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v thy_o neighbour_n for_o it_o be_v against_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n that_o will_v thou_o to_o do_v as_o thou_o will_v be_v do_v unto_o and_o against_o the_o law_n of_o justice_n that_o command_v to_o give_v every_o man_n his_o due_n therefore_o say_v god_n thou_o shall_v not_o covet_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v thy_o neighbour_n be_v it_o never_o so_o little_a it_o be_v too_o much_o to_o covet_v and_o though_o he_o can_v spare_v it_o god_n will_v not_o spare_v thou_o for_o wish_v it_o and_o though_o it_o be_v not_o much_o wherein_o thou_o offend_v yet_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n be_v great_a who_o herein_o thou_o offend_v therefore_o thou_o see_v there_o be_v no_o warrant_n at_o all_o to_o covet_v again_o consider_v that_o though_o a_o man_n have_v that_o which_o he_o do_v covet_v yet_o it_o can_v profit_v he_o unless_o god_n bless_v it_o the_o israelite_n say_v david_n covet_v flesh_n for_o their_o lust_n and_o god_n give_v they_o their_o desire_n with_o their_o desire_n he_o give_v they_o flesh_n but_o he_o send_v leanness_n withal_o 15_o psal_n 106._o 15_o into_o their_o soul_n so_o many_o be_v sick_a with_o ahabs_n disease_n propose_v to_o themselves_o if_o i_o have_v such_o a_o dwelling_n than_o i_o shall_v have_v content_a if_o such_o a_o live_a they_o i_o shall_v have_v no_o want_n but_o consider_v i_o pray_v you_o may_v not_o this_o be_v a_o fond_a and_o false_a persuasion_n may_v not_o god_n cross_v thou_o in_o thy_o wished-for_a dwell_n with_o unwished_a for_o disease_n in_o thy_o body_n and_o with_o torture_a horror_n in_o thy_o conscience_n and_o than_o thy_o dwell_n will_v not_o delight_v thou_o and_o thy_o cover_n will_v not_o content_v thou_o and_o as_o for_o riches_n thou_o may_v drink_v in_o gold_n with_o balthasar_n and_o see_v with_o he_o 5._o
