The corporal Dropsy is easily known by heaviness, swelling, puffing up, immoderate desire of drink, &c. The spiritual likewise (though it leans the carcass) lards the conscience; at least swells and puffs it up: and as if some hellish inflammation had scorched the affection, it thirsts for Aurum potabile without measure. The Covetous man is of Renodaeus his opinion, that argentum plurimum valet ad cordis palpitationem, silver is good against the heart-panting. The Wise man calls it a disease, an-evil disease, and almost ⟨p. 24⟩1incurable. The Covetous hath drunk the blood of oppression, wrong from the veins of the poor: and behold, like an undigestible receipt, it wambles in his stomach; he shall not feel quietness in his belly. This is an epidemiall sickness. Aurum omnes, victa jam pietate, colunt. Religion gives riches, and riches forgets religion. Religio dat opes, paupertas Religionem: Divitiae veniunt, Religioque fugit.
