That the Body is a Vile body made of vile materials, subject to vile diseases and to vile abominations, and that he that provides for his body and not for his soul, is like unto a husbandman that in harvest time gathers in his stubble, and leaves his Corn to be devoured by his Hogs; or like unto a Goldsmith, that weighs exactly his dross, but disregards his gold.

And also
He that provides for his Body with the neglect of his Soul, is like unto a Merchant that overloads his Ship so as to drown himself; or to a man that makes so great a fire to warm himself by, as to burn his house and himself in it.
