[…] Paul that excellent instrument of GOD sayeth:1 […] volunt ditescere, […], […] that go about to get […] they shall fall in many temptations: […] which words S. Paul doeth teach us to beware.

Though we have not riches, yet a man may live without2 great riches: Habentes victum & vestitum. &c. When we have meat and drink, and clothing, let us be content, let us not gape for riches: for I tell you, it is a dangerous thing to have riches: and they that have riches, must make a great account for them: yea, and the most part of the rich men use their riches so naughtily, and so wickedly, that they shall not be able to make an account for them. And so you may perceive how the devil useth the good creatures of god, to […] own […]. for riches are good creatures of god, but you see daily how men abuse them, how they set their hearts upon them: forgetting god and their own salvation. Therefore (as I said before) let not this affection take place in your hearts, to be rich: labour for thy living, and pray to god: then he will send thee things necessary: though he send not great riches, yet thou must be content withal: for it is better to have a sufficient living, then to have great riches. Therefore Solomon3 that wise king desired of god that he would send him neither to much, nor to little: not to much, least he should fall into proudness, and so despise God: Not to little, least he should fall to stealing, and so […] the law of God.
