If it be taken for Riot and voluptuousness, that is a pestilent doctrine which shall teach a man to cast away Gods blessings like troublesome rubbish, 1 Tim. 5.8. If any man provide not for his own, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an Infid••. It is Pernicious to both the estates, present, and future. First, for this world, it hastens beggary: it is the rioters phrase, when he calls for supplies to his lusts; It is but begging an year the sooner. Diogenes requested of a prodigal a talent: he as […] him what he meant, to desire so much of him, and so little of others: he answered, Quoniam tu habes, illi habebunt; Because thou hast, and they will have: I shall beg o• thee but once, of them often: give me now a talent, I may live to give thee a gro••. Secondly, for the world to come, when the account must be given, the matter will be worse. If the servant that but hid his talent, was cast into utter darkness, for not •• proving it: what answer shall he make that hath riotously wasted it, Luke 16.1. Th•• shall be more fire, because there was less faithfulness.
