Only we may not be over careful. To take great care for the body, is to cast away all care for the soul. For they that will be rich, fall into temptation & snares, and into many 1foolish and noisome lusts, which drown men in perdition and destruction: for the desire of money is the root of all evil, which whiles some lusted after, they erred from the faith, and pierced themselves with many sorrows. Of this care speaketh our saviour, It is easier for a Camel to go through y• eye of a needle, then for a rich man to enter 2into the kingdom of God.
Onely wee may not bee ouer carefull. To take great care for the body, is to cast away all care for the soule. For they that will bee riche, fall into temptation & snares, and into many 1foolish and noysome lusts, which drowne men in perdition and destruction: for the desire of mony is the roote of al euil, which whiles some lusted after, they erred from the fayth, and perced themselues with many sorrowes. Of this care speaketh our sauiour, It is easier for a Camel to go through y• eye of a needle, then for a rich man to enter 2into the kingdome of God.
