1 Moderate estates do not content you in the world. Men rise up early, and go to bed late, and eat the bread of carefulness, and are eager and indefatigable in their pursuits of the world? If you get not so much this year, you will endeavour to get more the next year; no man hath moderation after the things of this world, no man is contented with that estate they are in, but labours to improve it. Like the Chaldeans, of whom it is spoken, Habak. 2. 5. He enlargeth ¹his desire as hest, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied But gathereth unto him, all nations, and heapeth unto him all people. And is it reason that you that are so immoderate in the pursuit and desire of the things of this world, should be moderate in the things of heaven?
