Finally alonely to have richesse is 1not to be the servant of Mammon, but to love it and clea•e to it in thine hart. For if thou have goods only to maintain the office which God hath put thee in, & of the rest to help thy neighbours need, so art thou Lord over thy Mammon and not his servant. Of them that be rich, how shalt thou know 2the master of Mammon from the servant? verily first by the getting, secondarily when his poor neighbour complaineth, if he be Mammons servant, Mammon will shut up his hart and make him without compassion. Thirdly the cross of Christ will try them the one from the other. For when persecution ariseth for the word: then will the true servant of Christ bid Mammon •dew. And the faithful servant of Mammon will utter his hypocrisy, and not only renounce the doctrine of Christ, but also be a cruel & a sharp persecutor thereof, to put away all surmise, and that his fidelity which he hath in his master Mammon, map openly appear.
