that_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v the_o faithful_a that_o have_v their_o hope_n fix_v on_o heavenly_a happiness_n they_o be_v so_o little_o addict_v to_o worldly_a thing_n as_o though_o they_o have_v

indeed_o will_v doubtless_o come_v to_o a_o miserable_a death_n and_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v be_v damn_v with_o the_o world_n but_o these_o worldling_n will_v say_v it_o be_v too_o hard_a a_o

that_o god_n do_v neither_o will_n nor_o command_v man_n altogether_o to_o cast_v away_o wealth_n honour_n and_o other_o worldly_a emolument_n for_o abraham_n be_v a_o special_a friend_n of_o god_n

of_o many_o christian_a king_n &_o emperor_n and_o therefore_o the_o commodity_n of_o this_o world_n riches_n honour_n pleasure_n a●e_v not_o absolute_o forbid_v unto_o christian_a people_n but_o the_o immoderate_a love_n of_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n which_o be_v call_v of_o s._n john_n the_o concupiscence_n of_o the_o flesh_n concupiscence_n of_o the_o eye_n and_o pride_n of_o life_n abraham_n certes_o be_v exceed_v wealthy_a but_o he_o not_o only_o use_v moderate_o his_o riches_n but_o be_v most_o ready_a present_o a●_n the_o command_n of_o god_n to_o spend_v they_o all_o for_o he_o who_o spare_v not_o his_o only_a son_n most_o virtuous_a and_o most_o dear_a unto_o he_o when_o god_n command_v that_o even_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o abraham_n himself_o he_o shall_v be_v sacrifice_v how_o easy_o at_o the_o same_o command_z have_v he_o bestow_v or_o give_v away_o all_o his_o other_o wealth_n therefore_o abraham_n be_v rich_a in_o substance_n but_o rich_a in_o faith_n and_o charity_n &_o for_o that_o cause_n be_v not_o of_o the_o world_n but_o rather_o dead_a unto_o it_o &_o the_o same_o we_o may_v say_v of_o other_o holy_a man_n who_o abound_v with_o riches_n power_n and_o glory_n yea_o with_o kingdom_n also_o and_o empire_n because_o be_v poor_a in_o spirit_n dead_a to_o the_o world_n and_o live_v only_o to_o god_n they_o have_v most_o exact_o learn_v

that_o he_o live_v in_o the_o world_n but_o concupiscence_n of_o the_o flesh_n concupiscence_n of_o the_o eye_n and_o pride_n of_o life_n which_o in_o one_o word_n be_v call_v cupidity_n or_o disordinate_a affection_n &_o be_v opposite_a to_o the_o theological_a virtue_n of_o charity_n &_o therefore_o if_o any_o through_o the_o grace_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n begin_v to_o love_n god_n for_o himself_o and_o for_o his_o sake_n his_o neighbour_n he_o begin_v to_o go_v out_o of_o the_o world_n and_o this_o charity_n increase_v the_o other_o disorderly_a appetite_n will_v go_v less_o and_o less_o and_o so_o he_o will_v begin_v to_o die_v to_o the_o world_n for_o charity_n can_v increase_v without_o the_o diminution_n of_o the_o other_o &_o by_o this_o mean_v it_o will_v come_v to_o pass_v also_o that_o that_o thing_n which_o while_o those_o other_o passion_n be_v predominant_a seem_v impossible_a to_o wit_n that_o a_o man_n live_v in_o the_o world_n shall_v not_o be_v of_o the_o world_n through_o this_o increase_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n &_o decrease_v of_o disordinat_a affection_n will_v become_v most_o easy_a for_o that_o which_o to_o this_o cupidity_n be_v a_o
