Reproof of them which through the greedy desires of Use. 1 corruptible▪ and casual treasures, are wholly with-held from seeking this one thing only necessary. A great crop of wheat is offered unto them, which they refuse, and sill their barns and garners with chaff and stubble. They may load themselves, and fill their houses with silver, and gold, with pearls, and diamonds, and all kind of precious stones: and they take their back burden, and pester their houses with old rusty iron, and dross, and pebbles, and other things that be heavy and cumbersome, but of no value. They have liberty, and opportunity, they have persuasion, and encouragement to gather ⟨p. 86⟩together, and store up abundance of durable riches, which can never perish, nor be taken from them, and they take pains to heap up snow, and such like matter, that will melt away and vanish in a moment.
