That is to say / when the lord / thy god shall bring the into the land / which he promised to thy fathers Abraham / Isaac / and Jacob / and shall give the / great cites and good which thou never buildedst / houses furnished with all necessaries / which thou replenishedst not / and water pits that thou diggedst not / vines and olives that thou plantedst not / and thou eat and be satisfied beware thou for gote not the lord / that brought the out of Egypt / from the house of servants. Here seest thou what danger and peril is annexed with abundance and prosperous fortune in this world / and how commune an isle it is: in manner taking effect in all men that possesseth the goddes of the world. As Isaiah saith: let us eat and drink / to morrow we shall die. As Moses saith Deut. 32. the people replenished them felses with the gifts of god / and rebelled / using prosperity and god fortune for soak god. And Luc. 12. the rich man said. My Soul thou hast great riches and shalt use them many years: take thine ease / ⟨p. LI⟩eat / drink / and be merry. By these examples thou seest that Moses prescribed not with out cause this rule / how to use our selves in prosperity. The which rule containeth too precepts: the one to use moderately the gifts of god / and not to abuse them: the other to acknowledge them to cum from god and to put no trust in them. The riches of the world abused engē drythe pride / and for gotefullnys of god. Therefore Moses admonisheth Chiefly man in his wealth to be ware he forgot not god. And in the 8. cap. he showeth the cause why we should not glory / nor trust in them / although they be must justly and righteously gotten. god giveth them saith he / and be not gotten with our labours and pain. I know what men are wont to say. when hard any of these new gospellers that a rich man acknowledged not god for god / and confess the same unto other. So much may every man that is not out of his wit confess. Dauyd saith not / the fool saith with his tong there is no god / but in his hart psal. 12. verily to acknowledge only god to be God / only to trust unto him / and not unto the creatures of the world it is a rare thing in prosperity. few think by how small a third all the certainty of riches hangeth / and that suddenly they may perish.

That is to say / when the lord / thy god shall bryng the into the land / whiche he promisyd to thy fathers Abraham / Isaac / and Iacob / and shal yeue the / great cites and good whiche thow neuer buldyst / howses furnyshyd withe all necessarys / whiche thow replenyshyds not / and water pittes that thow dyggyst not / uynes and olyues that thow plantyst not / and thow eate and be satisfiede beware thow for gote not the lord / that browght the out of Aegypt / from the howse of seruauntes. Here seist thow what danger and perill is anexyd whith abundaunce ād prosperous fortune in this worold / and how commune an ile it is: in maner takyng effect in all men that possessythe the goddes of the worold. As Esai saithe: let us eat and drynke / to morow we shall die. As Moses saythe
