3 Thou art not only a base and a bond man, but a beggarly man too without Jesus Christ; for all the treasures of grace and mercy are hid and locked up in Christ as in a common Magazine or Storehouse: Col. 2. 3. In him are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge; if you are out of Christ you have nothing, as Rev. 4. 17. Thou sayest 1thou art rich and increased in goods, and hast need of nothing, and knowest not that thou art poor, and wretched, and miserable, and blind, and naked; you will grant that he is a poor and beggarly man, that wants these four things, meat for his belly, clothes for his back, money for his purse, and a house to put his head in, why in all these respects every man that is out of Christ is a beggarly man.
