Q. 17. May not a Man desire God to bless his labours, and to be rich?
A. A Man is bound to labour in a lawful Calling that is able, and to desire and beg God's Blessing on it: But he must not desire Riches, or Plenty for it self, or for fleshly Lusts; nor be over importunate with God to make him his Steward for others.n
- nProv. 10. 22. Psal. 129. 8. Deut. 28. 8, 9, &c. & 33. 11.
Q. 18. What if God give us Riches, or more than we need our selves?
A. We must believe that he maketh us his Stewards, to do all the good with it, that we can to all, but specially to the Household of Faith: But to spend no more in sinful Lust and Pleasure, than if we were Poor.
