Thirdly, observe that in Gods just judgement the covetous man is disappointed of his hope, his wages are the wages of deceitfulness: for either he achieveth not,1 or retaineth not the things expected, as in the former examples: of Achan, who for the wedge lost his life with it; so neither Ahab himself, nor his posterity ever enjoyed Naboths vineyard. Judas brought back the thirty pieces of silver, and hanged himself. Ananias and Sapphira desirous to keep a part of their possession, lost with the possession both their lives: or else if he retain the booty, and get and keep also wealth fraudulently gotten and heaped up by oppression; yet having the thing, he hath not the use of it; his covetous heart keepeth the key of it, and locketh it from his comfortable use: yea, and be it that he have some use of it, yet his gain is small for which he ⟨p. 96⟩loseth his soul: Thou fool this night shall they fetch away thy soul.

Iudas brought backe the thirtie peeces of siluer, and hanged himselfe. Ananias and Saphira desirous to keepe a part of their possession, lost with the possession both their liues: or else if hee retaine the bootie, and get and keepe also wealth fraudulently gotten and heaped vp by oppression; yet hauing the thing, he hath not the vse of it; his couetous heart keepeth the key of it, and locketh it from his comfortable vse: yea, and be it that he haue some vse of it, yet his gaine is small for which he ⟨p. 96⟩loseth his soule: Thou foole this night shal they fetch away thy soule.
