THE FIRST SERMON.
Psal. 15. verse 1. & 5. 1 Lord, who shall dwell in thy Tabernacle? Who shall rest in thine holy mountain? 5 He that giveth not his money to usury.
Psal. 15. verse 1. & 5. 1 Lord, who shall dwell in thy Tabernacle? Who shall rest in thine holy mountaine? 5 He that giueth not his mony to vsurie.
These two verses must be considered together,1 because one is the question, and the other is the answer: David demands who shall come to heaven? and God tells him that Usurers shall not come thither: as if he should say, they go to hell. Therefore as Paul taught Timothy to warn them which are rich,2 as though they had more need to be warned than other: so this sentence seemeth to be penned for a warning to the rich, because it strikes upon the rich mans vice.
