that_o trust_v and_o confidence_n which_o be_v due_a to_o god_n be_v place_v in_o riches_n when_o we_o do_v cor_fw-la apponere_fw-la set_v our_o heart_n upon_o they_o psal_n 62._o 10._o and_o make_v

we_o shall_v know_v what_o this_o enough_o be_v since_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o it_o do_v not_o consist_v in_o puncto_fw-la indivisibili_fw-la in_o any_o one_o particular_a prescribe_v or_o limit_a proportion_n or_o measure_n whatsoever_o two_o way_n there_o be_v to_o find_v out_o this_o proportion_n first_o by_o those_o lawful_a mean_n which_o god_n afford_v for_o the_o moderate_a get_n of_o wealth_n and_o second_o by_o our_o necessity_n the_o first_o way_n to_o know_v what_o this_o enough_o be_v be_v by_o those_o lawful_a mean_n which_o god_n give_v for_o the_o get_n of_o wealth_n god_n in_o his_o divine_a providence_n have_v not_o afford_v to_o all_o man_n a_o equal_a proportion_n of_o these_o mean_n &_o therefore_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o in_o the_o dispensation_n of_o his_o providence_n he_o do_v not_o intend_v a_o equal_a proportion_n of_o wealth_n to_o all_o for_o god_n be_v no_o leveller_n but_o a_o god_n of_o order_n so_o that_o as_o in_o ezekiel_n vision_n the_o motion_n of_o the_o wheel_n be_v answerable_a to_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o creature_n when_o these_o go_v those_o go_v when_o these_o stand_v still_o the_o other_o do_v not_o move_v and_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o conformity_n be_v because_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o live_a creature_n be_v in_o the_o wheel_n ezek._n 1._o 20._o so_o in_o this_o case_n the_o measure_n of_o our_o wealth_n must_v be_v proportion_v to_o the_o mean_n which_o god_n afford_v we_o for_o the_o get_n of_o wealth_n when_o these_o move_v and_o be_v enlarge_v our_o desire_n may_v move_v with_o they_o when_o these_o stand_v still_o and_o rest_n so_o must_v our_o desire_n and_o the_o reason_n why_o they_o must_v move_v and_o rest_v together_o be_v because_o the_o proportion_n of_o god_n allotment_n be_v in_o the_o mean_n as_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o creature_n be_v in_o the_o wheel_n so_o that_o if_o god_n cut_v short_a the_o mean_n to_o get_v wealth_n we_o must_v contract_v our_o desire_n and_o cause_v they_o to_o move_v in_o a_o equipage_n answerable_a and_o commensurate_a to_o they_o small_a mean_n to_o get_v wealth_n and_o small_a desire_n of_o have_v wealth_n suit_n best_a together_o second_o as_o this_o proportion_n of_o our_o wealth_n may_v be_v know_v by_o the_o mean_n which_o god_n afford_v we_o for_o the_o get_n of_o wealth_n so_o it_o be_v know_v by_o our_o necessity_n now_o
