Again, There is no fin that is more hard to convince 1a man of than the sin of Covetousness; and yet the Apostle speaks in 1 Cor. 5. 11. That it's a sin for which a man is to be cast out of the Church. When almost did you ever hear of a covetous man convinced? What example can you almost ever bring of one that hath been covetous, and rich, and got his estate in a false way, that shall come and give glory to God, and acknowledge his sin, and cast up his sweet morsels again? Covetousness it is a besotting sin, it is a blinding sin; Who shall find any iniquity in me? what do I do but that I may?

Covetousness it is a beforting sin, it is a blinding sin; Who shall find any iniquity in me? what do I do but that I may?
- 1Covetousness hard to be convinc'd.
Then Thirdly, That covetous men, as it's hard to convince 1them, so they do not love to be charged with their sin: For so according to some it is, Who dares charge me? It is a very dangerous thing to charge a rich man of any evil, for he hath his Purse by his side, and can tell how to revenge himself upon you.
