Not the riches of this world. eWe were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold. Were the riches of the old world brought together to the riches of the new world; were all the mineral veins of the earth emptied of their purest metals: this pay would not be currant with God. It will cost more to redeem ⟨p. 172⟩souls fThey that trust in their wealth, and boast in the multitude of their riches: Yet cannot by any means redeem their brother, nor Give to God a ransom for him. The servant cannot redeem the Lord. God made a man master of these things: he is then more precious then his slaves.
