The law unsealed

now men will be challenged in their conscience for not aiming at competency, but not for not seeking to be rich▪ only know there is not, not can be one rule for the same measure to all persons, in this matter; men having different burdens and charges may seek more or less accordingly, and therefore when Jacobs family increased, Genes. 31. he thought it time to provide for them, neither can there he a rule for the same measure, even for the same persons at all times, as is clear Jerem. 45. 5. in Baruch and Ne•e••a•, Nehem. 5. 14, 15, 16, 17, 18. men ought not to aim to be as others, but as is needful and competent for their rank, burden, and station. Neither 5. must we reckon in this matter by a mans success; some there are who think they are exonerated if they use but any means for providing for themselves, and they have a sort of peace in the endeavour, be it less or more: Others there are, who even by lawful means seek, and also attain to more then is convenient for them, and think they may do so, because they have success; but endeavours would be suited and proportioned to the foresaid ends, with dependence on Gods blessing, whatever be the success, Psalm 127. 12.
