1But why doth he join afflicted and poor together? Because poverty is affliction, and because affliction goes with poverty, poverty brings affliction, it brings abasement with it, and it is an affliction it self: For the poor man is trod on at all hands, men go over the hedge where it is lowest, it is an affliction, and it goes with affliction, Therefore the Apostle S. Paul; Philip. 4.2 he joins them together, I have learned to want and to be abased: Why? Because a man that is in want in the world, is usually abased; every man scorns him that is in want: they look haughty and high over a man that hath any use of them, so that affliction and poverty usually go together
