Where your treasure is, there are your hearts. If your treasure be in the world, so is the love of your hearts. And if ye love the world & the things of the world, the love of God is not in you, and the love of God is the love of his commandments: and he that 1loveth not Gods commandments shall never preach them truly, because he loveth them not. But shall corrupt them with glosses that they may stand with that which his hart loveth, and until they have an other sense then ever God gave them. Ergo no covetous person can be a true Prophet. It is not for nought then that Christ to oft and so diligently warneth his disciples to beware of covetousness, as of that thing which he wist well had ever corrupt the word of God, and ever should.
Where your treasure is, there are your hartes. If your treasure be in ye worlde, so is the loue of your hartes. And if ye loue the world & the thynges of the world, the loue of God is not in you, and the loue of God is the loue of his commaundements: and he that 1loueth not Gods commaundementes shall neuer preach them truely, because he loueth them not. But shall corrupt them with gloses that they may stand with that which his hart loueth, and vntill they haue an other sence then euer God gaue them. Ergo no couetous person can be a true Prophet. It is not for nought then that Christ to oft and so diligently warneth his disciples to beware of couetousnes, as of that thing which he wist well had euer corrupt the woorde of God, and euer shoulde.

The light of thy body is thine eye, wherefore if thine eye be single, all thy body shall be full of light. But and if thine eye be wicked, than shall thy whole body be dark. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness.
