Here beginneth the fifth part of this excellent sermon, and it continueth1 to the end of this chapter; wherein our Saviour Christ intendeth to reform his hearers of covetousness, and to work in their hearts a moderate care & desire of worldly things. Now the order of this discourse is this; First, he lays down the substance of his persuasion, and then enforceth and amplifieth the same. The ground and substance of Christs persuasion consists in a double commandment: the first shows what we must not do in respect of treasures, v. 19. the second, what we must do, v. 20. both which he enforceth by their several reasons, in the same verses: as also with a reason common to them both, v. 21.
