§. 6. Direct. 3. Here also observe regardfully where your danger lieth, and there keep a continual1 watch. L•t the poor remember, that if they be not Rich in grace, it is long of themselves; and if they be, they have the chiefest Riches, and have learnt in all estates to be content: And have great cause to be thankful to God that thus helpeth them against the love and pleasures of the world. Let the Rich remember, that they have not less to do than the poor, because they have more committed2 to their trust, nor may they ever the more satisfy the inordinate desires of the flesh: But they have more to d•, and more dangers to fear and watch against, as they have more of their Masters Talents to employ, and give account for at the last.
