We have seen huge hills of wealth, like mountains of ice, thus suddenly thawed as wax, with the heat of Luxury. But Parum justo, ba little that the righteous man hath, is better then the riches of many wicked. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: the strength of their state shall be confounded. Their wealth is not Gods, therefore he takes no charge of it. But the Riches of the good, is the riches of God, and he will prosper it.
We haue seene huge hills of wealth, like mountaines of ice, thus suddenly thawed as waxe, with the heate of Luxurie. But Parum iusto, ba little that the righteous man hath, is better then the riches of many wicked. For the armes of the wicked shall be broken: the strength of their state shall be confounded. Their wealth is not Gods, therefore he takes no charge of it. But the Riches of the good, is the riches of God, and he will prosper it.
