1. To have an estate is a blessing of God, but yet all the estate, and revenues, and substance which you have gotten, by the labour of your hands, and the sweat of your brows are all accursed to you, if you have not an interest in Jesus Christ, as in Deut. 28. 17, 18. Cursed shalt thou be in the City and cursed shalt thou be in the field; cursed shalt thou be in thy basket, and in thy store; cursed shalt thou be in the fruit of thy body, and of thy land, in the increase of thy kine, and in the flocks of thy sheep; cursed shalt thou be when thou goest forth, and cursed when thou comest in: and so in Job 20. 15. He shall swallow down riches, but he shall vomit them up again: and in Eccles. 5. 13 says Solomon, There is a sore evil which I have seen under the Sun, namely riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.
