1All trust and confidence, which is reposed in creatures. For this is manifestly repugnant to the true knowledge of one God; and to faith, and hope. For trust and confidence is an honour due unto God alone, which whoso translateth unto creatures, doth in very deed imagine moe gods. Wherefore God in his word doth utterly condemn those,2 who repose trust and confidence in things created, as in men. And also he condemneth those which put their trust in their own works, and in riches: which also covetous men do; and so under the name of this vice is covetousness also comprehended.
