Again, Lot lingered in Sodom till the Angels took him by the ⟨p. 178⟩hand and in a kind of gracious violence set him in safety against his will. Willing he was to escape the destruction which was now falling upon Sodom, but loath he was to save his life at so dear a rate as the loosing of all his substance. It is a sin to cleave so fast in affection to goods, as not to be willing with the loss of all to save out lives. He loves riches too well that will cast his life upon great danger for the saving of them, and not gladly leave them all to free his life from perdition. Satan could say, Skin for skin and all that a man hath will he give for the redemption of his life. 1If we have at any time found our heart so glued to wealth, that we have been lingering about it, to the manifest endangering of our lives, much more our souls, we should even heartily condemn our selves for too great lovers of riches.

Satan could say, Skinne for skinne and all that a man hath will hee give for the redemption of his life. 1If wee have at any time found our heart so glewed to wealth, that we have beene lingring about it, to the manifest indangering of our lives, much more our soules, we should even heartily condemne our selves for too great lovers of riches.
