A. Fullness of the World secures no Man from the sin of Discontentment with his own, or coveting that which is another's; because the desires enlarge as the Estate doth, Psal. 62.10. —If riches increase, set ••t your hearts upon them. An instance whereof we have in Ahab, 1 Kings 21.4. And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased, because of the word, which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers, and he laid him d•wn upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
