i_o beseech_v you_o stand_v not_o upon_o point_n with_o god_n to_o avoid_v covetousness_n be_v generous_a be_v far_o from_o covetousness_n shun_v all_o appearance_n of_o covetousness_n be_v noble_a and_o generous_a mind_v keep_v a_o broad_a difference_n and_o a_o vast_a latitude_n from_o covetousness_n if_o you_o will_v be_v clear_a make_v it_o appear_v be_v not_o obnoxious_a to_o suspicion_n with_o hinch_a and_o pinch_v and_o such_o baseness_n which_o make_v other_o and_o upon_o probable_a reason_n and_o good_a ground_n think_v that_o indeed_o you_o be_v so_o but_o if_o you_o will_v not_o be_v taint_v with_o this_o dangerous_a sin_n do_v the_o contrary_a be_v so_o far_o from_o covetousness_n that_o you_o will_v rather_o be_v generous_o magnificent_a according_a to_o the_o proportion_n of_o your_o estate_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n but_o this_o be_v not_o that_o i_o intend_v this_o be_v the_o first_o branch_n of_o the_o exhortation_n that_o man_n will_v examine_v themselves_o 2._o i_o desire_v that_o man_n will_v humble_v themselves_o and_o see_v their_o corruption_n and_o be_v affect_v true_o with_o sorrow_n for_o it_o even_o such_o sorrow_n as_o become_v christian_n in_o that_o humility_n of_o spirit_n which_o shall_v be_v in_o we_o upon_o every_o take_v our_o selus_fw-la nap_v in_o every_o sin_n do_v thou_o upon_o examination_n find_v thou_o be_v not_o free_a from_o covetousness_n do_v not_o thou_o stand_v on_o thy_o pantofle_n as_o they_o say_v but_o make_v amends_o humble_v thyself_o before_o god_n acknowledge_v the_o baseness_n and_o vileness_n of_o thy_o spirit_n that_o thou_o be_v guilty_a of_o that_o sin_n which_o be_v abominable_a to_o god_n hateful_a to_o man_n be_v a_o scorn_n and_o derision_n to_o they_o and_o 3._o i_o desire_v that_o man_n will_v reform_v themselves_o stay_v not_o here_o but_o take_v out_o a_o new_a lesson_n make_v progress_n to_o reformation_n recover_v thyself_o or_o if_o thou_o be_v already_o free_a labour_v to_o prevent_v it_o in_o the_o whole_a latitude_n in_o all_o the_o three_o species_n which_o i_o mention_v in_o the_o application_n in_o our_o judgement_n understanding_n not_o think_v too_o high_a of_o riches_n in_o our_o affection_n not_o cleave_v inordinate_o to_o they_o in_o our_o action_n be_v not_o too_o thoughtful_a and_o careful_a for_o worldly_a thing_n to_o be_v talk_v and_o breathe_v of_o earth_n continual_o have_v nothing_o at_o all_o to_o speak_v of_o but_o riches_n there_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o mouth_n which_o the_o naturalist_n call_v the_o coelum_fw-la heaven_n it_o be_v the_o upper_a roof_n of_o the_o mouth_n there_o be_v many_o man_n which_o have_v no_o heaven_n at_o all_o in_o their_o mouth_n no_o upper_a part_n but_o all_o low_a talk_v still_o of_o those_o base_a and_o low_a thing_n avoid_v it_o therefore_o in_o your_o talk_n in_o your_o action_n and_o in_o your_o deed_n be_v not_o covetous_a in_o scrape_v in_o riches_n have_v nor_o save_v especial_o let_v it_o not_o carry_v thou_o inordinate_o either_o to_o impious_a course_n to_o trample_v upon_o god_n or_o unjust_a or_o uncharitable_a towards_o thy_o neighbour_n or_o thyself_o thy_o body_n to_o pinch_v that_o or_o thy_o soul_n to_o starve_v that_o or_o to_o those_o about_o thou_o to_o carry_v thyself_o injurious_o towards_o they_o in_o one_o word_n set_v thyself_o upon_o reformation_n against_o all_o the_o spice_n of_o covetousness_n for_o the_o further_a prosecution_n of_o this_o to_o cut_v off_o all_o other_o thing_n i_o shall_v only_o propound_v those_o thing_n that_o may_v be_v antidote_n against_o this_o sin_n and_o remedy_n to_o cure_v this_o sin_n both_o to_o recover_v those_o which_o have_v be_v touch_v with_o this_o dangerous_a sin_n and_o to_o prevent_v it_o for_o the_o future_a i_o take_v they_o both_o and_o for_o they_o both_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o help_n 1._o something_o habitual_a to_o take_v care_n to_o furnish_v thy_o soul_n with_o that_o may_v lock_v it_o up_o and_o take_v up_o the_o room_n that_o there_o be_v no_o room_n for_o covetousness_n in_o the_o heart_n 2._o something_o that_o be_v actual_a to_o be_v do_v by_o a_o renew_a act_n and_o continual_o use_v for_o the_o prevention_n and_o the_o recover_v a_o man_n from_o it_o i_o shall_v but_o mention_v the_o former_a for_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v habitual_a 1._o in_o general_n labour_v to_o establish_v thy_o heart_n with_o grace_n for_o vice_n and_o sin_n be_v never_o cast_v out_o kind_o nor_o certain_o but_o by_o the_o introduction_n of_o that_o which_o be_v contrary_a and_o that_o be_v grace_n therefore_o if_o you_o will_v empty_v your_o heart_n of_o sin_n we_o must_v clavum_fw-la clavo_fw-la pellere_fw-la as_o they_o say_v drive_v out_o sin_n with_o drive_v in_o of_o grace_n as_o one_o wedge_n if_o we_o will_v get_v it_o out_o of_o a_o hard_a piece_n of_o wood_n we_o must_v drive_v in_o another_o so_o nothing_o can_v free_v we_o from_o sin_n but_o the_o introduction_n of_o grace_n what_o can_v take_v off_o darkness_n from_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n nothing_o in_o the_o world_n but_o light_n so_o what_o can_v drive_v out_o sin_n it_o must_v be_v grace_n bring_v into_o the_o soul_n otherwise_o a_o man_n may_v do_v as_o when_o a_o man_n reprove_v a_o fault_n to_o amend_v his_o brother_n sometime_o he_o cast_v out_o one_o devil_n with_o another_o so_o the_o only_a true_a way_n of_o drive_v out_o sin_n in_o general_a and_o so_o this_o sin_n of_o covetousness_n in_o particular_a must_v be_v by_o grace_n bring_v into_o the_o soul_n to_o have_v a_o heart_n establish_v full_a of_o gracious_a thought_n inclination_n and_o affection_n i_o shall_v mention_v some_o more_o especial_o there_o be_v four_o pair_n of_o grace_n in_o particular_a which_o be_v wonderful_a conduce_v and_o effectual_a for_o the_o dispossess_v of_o this_o devil_n of_o covetousness_n the_o first_o pair_n for_o i_o shall_v join_v two_o together_o be_v humility_n and_o temperance_n or_o sobriety_n it_o may_v be_v some_o will_v think_v those_o two_o be_v far_o off_o but_o i_o tell_v you_o in_o the_o explication_n that_o covetousness_n be_v sometime_o in_o a_o estate_n of_o regency_n it_o be_v master_n sometime_o also_o it_o be_v in_o the_o estate_n of_o a_o servant_n it_z waire_z upon_o some_o other_o sin_n there_o be_v two_o other_o sin_n that_o covetousness_n do_v frequent_o wait_v upon_o when_o a_o man_n be_v not_o overmaster_v with_o covetousness_n that_o be_v not_o his_o direct_a sin_n there_o may_v be_v other_o sin_n that_o will_v use_v the_o service_n of_o covetousness_n have_v it_o as_o a_o servant_n to_o instance_n covetousness_n be_v a_o servant_n to_o pride_n and_o lust_n and_o to_o intemperancy_n now_o if_o a_o man_n be_v of_o a_o humble_a spirit_n it_o will_v kill_v these_o lust_n a_o man_n will_v not_o aim_v at_o a_o high_a estate_n for_o the_o most_o part_n man_n aim_v at_o great_a thing_n rather_o for_o pride_n because_o he_o will_v bear_v a_o high_a port_n in_o the_o world_n he_o will_v be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o he_o in_o the_o act_n some_o great_a one_o in_o the_o world_n out_o of_o pride_n that_o make_v they_o scrape_v from_o this_o man_n and_o from_o the_o other_o it_o make_v they_o set_v upon_o any_o injurious_a course_n to_o advance_v his_o pride_n therefore_o if_o any_o one_o will_v keep_v pride_v own_o let_v he_o learn_v humility_n and_o if_o a_o man_n will_v keep_v pride_n under_o that_o will_v be_v a_o good_a mean_n to_o suppress_v his_o covetousness_n 2._o temperance_n and_o sobriety_n be_v another_o excellent_a mean_n to_o keep_v under_o covetousness_n if_o i_o be_v a_o temperate_a sober_a man_n and_o do_v not_o affect_v either_o excess_n in_o diet_n or_o apparel_n but_o be_o content_a with_o ordinary_a diet_n and_o clothes_n and_o to_o go_v in_o a_o sober_a way_n what_o need_v i_o tumble_v so_o much_o in_o the_o world_n a_o little_a will_v serve_v for_o necessity_n all_o be_v for_o the_o back_n and_o the_o belly_n covetousness_n plunge_v a_o man_n into_o a_o thousand_o inconvenience_n it_o make_v they_o lay_v about_o they_o infinite_o in_o the_o world_n because_o they_o must_v live_v at_o a_o luxurious_a rate_n they_o must_v go_v so_o fine_a in_o clothes_n and_o have_v such_o diet_n whereas_o it_o may_v be_v as_o advantageous_a every_o other_o way_n a_o man_n may_v drive_v a_o trade_n within_o a_o lesser_a compass_n so_o contract_v it_o it_o will_v turn_v to_o more_o advantage_n and_o to_o his_o great_a glory_n if_o he_o make_v his_o pride_n exceed_v in_o nothing_o but_o in_o intemperancy_n or_o greediness_n after_o the_o best_a thing_n this_o will_v clean_o turn_v the_o channel_n another_o way_n 2._o the_o second_o pair_n of_o grace_n which_o i_o will_v have_v you_o to_o fix_v increase_n and_o
