Wherein we have, First, Timothies Duty, 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, To charge. Secondly, The subject of that charge, Rich Men. Thirdly, The limitation of that subject, 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, Rich men in this World. Fourthly, The particulars and materials of the charge, set down Negatively and Affirmatively, and both twofold.
