Again, what hindered Abraham, Isaac & Jacob ye they were rich? What hindered David his kingly seat? ether Daniel the power of Babylon? or who soever was or is in high degree & wealth, if their heart doth not set store by them, or standeth in his own conceit? Solomon sayeth in the .xvi. Chap. of the Proverbs: It is the LORD that weigheth the spirits or minds, that is: he judgeth not after the utter appearance, whether he be rich, poor, in authority or abject: but after the spirit and his behaviour in the aforesaid estates. The difference of states, manners & ⟨image 59⟩persons must remain in earth, as long as we live: but the heart may not cleave unto nor fly: not cleave unto them of high estate and rich, nor fly the abject▪ despised and needy. After this manner sayeth David also in the .vii. psalm: Maintain the just thou righteous God, that triest the very hearts and the reins. But men judge after the utter appearance, wherefore they err oft.
Agayne, what hyndered Abrahā, Isaac & Iacob ye they were ryche? What hyndered Dauid hys kyngly seate? ether Daniel ye power of Babilō? or who soeuer was or is in hygh degre & wealth, yf theyr harte doth not set store by thē, or standeth in hys owne conceate? Salomō sayeth in ye .xvi. Chap. of the Prouerbes: It is the LORD that weyeth ye spretes or myndes, that is: he iudgeth not after ye vtter appearaūce, whether he be rych, poore, in authorite or abiecte: but after the sprete and hys behaueoure in the aforesayd estates. The difference of states, maners & ⟨image 59⟩persones must remayne in earthe, as longe as we lyue: but the harte may not cleue vnto nor flye: not cleue vnto them of hygh estate and rych, nor flye the abiecte▪ despysed and nedy. After thys maner sayeth Dauid also in the .vii. psalme: Maynteyne the iuste thou ryghteous God, that tryest ye very hartes and the reynes. But mē iudge after the vtter appearaunce, wherfore they erre ofte.
