But singularly before God is it called unrighteous Mammon, because it is not bestowed, and ministered unto our neighbours need. For if my neighbour need and I give him not, neither depart liberally with him, of that which I have: than withhold I from him unrighteously that which is his own. For as much as I am bounden to help him by the law of nature, ⟨p. 72⟩which is, whatsoever thou wouldest y• an other did to thee, that do thou also 1to him. And Christ. Math. 5. Give to every man that desireth thee. And John in his first Epistle, if a man have this worlds good, & see his brother need, how is the love of God in him? And this unrighteousness in our Mammon see very few men: because it is spiritual, and in those goods which are gotten most truly and justly, which beguile men. For they suppose they do no man wrong in keeping them, in that they got them not with stealing, robbing, oppression, and usury, neither hurt any man now with them.
