No riches: God so hedged Job in on every side, and made such a sense about him, that the Devil himself knew not where to break in upon him, Job 1.10. Yet the Lord again took down the pale, and Job became poor to a proverb. Yet to wealth we take heed our eyes are still open to watch it, our hands open to catch it: and when we have it, we house it: with as great affection, as the Spouse did her beloved. Cant 3.4. I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mothers house, and ⟨p. 342⟩into the chamber of her that conceived me. Men hold it, and will not let it go, but rather bury it in the earth, Domo matris suae, that house of their mother. The covetous, as if they would revenge Corahs death, seek to swallow up the earth, that swallowed up him. But alas, they take need to a thing most unsure. Antequam cupidus aliquid lucrife cerit, seipsum perdidit, Aug. Before the covetous man can gain any thing, he loseth himself. Therefore Paul charged Timothy, to charge us. 1 Tim. 6.17. That we put not our trust in uncertain or unsure riches. If we do, we are sure to be deceived.
