And therefore this should reach all those upon whom ⟨p. 11⟩the Lord hath bestowed a greater portion of this Opinionative felicity, I mean, of money, honour, reputation, or the like; First not to Trust in uncertain Riches, not to rely upon a foundation of their own laying for matter of Satisfaction to their Soul, nor to boast in the multitude of their riches, as the Prophet speaks, Psal. 49. 6. (for that is certainly one great effect of the Deceitfulness of Riches, spoken of Matth. 13. 22. to persuade the Soul that there is more in them then indeed there is) and the Psalmist gives an excellent reason in the▪ same place, No man can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him, for the Redemption of their Soul is Precious.
